It costs 20 for a year to become a member, but you'll learn a ton.it was worth it for me.

This system allows you to have up to 8 sounds layered per drum, so that when you hit at different velocities, you get up to 8 different sounds.Īnybody who is really interested in E-drums should join 'Logiztics Electronic Drums'.a site for people who DIY E-drums. The closest thing I've seen to it is the 0.0 Module by Boom Theory/Space Muffins, but I'm not sure if that unit actually allows for Sampling. I became interested in E-drums, because the drummer from Manowar used a system called 'The Drums of Death System' made by a guy named Vince Gutman (the company was caled 'MARC Industries') and they were sort of like JL Cooper.a smaller boutique company that specialized in Electronic had an onboard 'Sampler'(EEPROM Blower) and each drumsound was (supposedly) stored across several EEPROMS so that you got more than an 8-bit storage. (Think of the band 'Europe' - their drummer used this same ddrum system. I've been toying with E-drums for almost 20 years.I had a Simmons setup ( SDS9), a Pearl X-10 Rack(I think that was the model was a rackmount unit, and sounded just like the Simmons did) and finally the ddrum unit when it was hailed as king of the heap in the late 80's. I have an old ddrum unit (one of the original ones from the 80's) and I wouldn't use that one is very.how can I put this 's kind of like an old Simmons unit. You can indeed use it to trigger MIDI from another soundsource.which is what I was doing, therein is where the major lag in time REALLY shows up.įor econo uses, it's not bad, but I just wouldn't use it myself. It triggered exactly what I played into it-it was just delayed enough so that it sounded like a slapback echo was on the kick drum.when really I probably needed to have it ahead of the tracks-because you always get the 'attack before the boom' in the kick sound. I had to delay all the tracks to line up the Mic'd tracks with the triggered ones. If you know of any way this can be done let me know. I am happy with the Alesis i just want more sounds. And if the latency is a problem i will probably just buy a Vdrum module like the TD 10. I know there is a way, but i have never done it.

I have a drum machine which has the majority of the sounds of the high end roland modules.can i use the DM5, or DM Pro to trigger sounds from it using midi cables connecting the two. I have also never used it in a midi chain, which brings me to a question perhaps you can answer. However some of the sounds could use updating.too much 80's-90's verb on alot of stuff. And for the money it is a good peice of equipment, especially for those who want to just trigger kicks or snares. I guess it all depends on how you are gonna use it.i agree that the Ddrum, and Roland Modules are by far superior, but to call the DM5 a peice of junk doen't really do it justice. I force him to.hehehehe! I mainly use it for recording where i usually trigger everything, and mic the room, and cymbals.so perhaps i have totally missed the latency issue here. But even live when we use it i don't notice any latency issues.and niether does our drummer.who is anal and hates triggering the drums. I either mic, or trigger.so i can see where you are coming from there. I never trigger, and mic the bass drums.and mix them.

And i was in no way trying to start any flaming here. Ok Tim, We obviously used different methods for triggering.

To restate, do people think this solution is viable? Will the DM5 offer the few sounds that are needed? Thanks in advance. In the event that the band needs any additional samples they will likely be sounds not to be found on a drum module a midi sampler may be purchased in the future. Anyone think the DM5 will be what the band needs? One attraction to the DM5 is that it is pretty well priced, and if it meets the two basic functions I outlined, there's no point in spending more on features that will go wholey unused. )Īnother desireable feature would be a few of those low frequency 'bass drops' that you hear in R&B and similar styles, activated from a pad. What everyone is looking for here is a good clean kick sound that is punchy (read 'punishing'. I'm wondering if a trigger system with the DM5 would possibly provide a solution. He also has very fast feet, and clarity can sometimes be less than what is desireable. One is older than the other, so the sounds are always off just slightly. The drummer in my brother's band two bass drums. With any luck I will make some sense, though it's late and didn't sleep much last night.
