how bout u? haha

really hard for me to play by ear la..terpaksala read notes while playing..huhu

Hi guys..i'm new here...
was wondering where can i get a 2nd hand Roland e-drums with mesh heads?..and how much would that be...

There are brand new set for e-drum at the range of 3k actually.
I personally do not recommend e-drums. There are a lot of things that e-drums could not do, especially with the hi-hat.. E-drum hi hat sucks..
Another thing is the feeling.. The bass kick, you will be kicking into a hard pad.. Totally the different feeling of kicking into a bass skin of the bass drum.. That applies to other as well (Snare, tom tom)..

Symbols will be sucky (Only 1 or 2 kind of sound no matter how u hit it)

If you are serious, get an acoustic one for sure. But if you going for usual practice and just to keep touch with drum without having to worry of disturbing your neighbor, then you can go for e-drum..

Anyway. You can buy silence pad for acoustic drum. It can reduce the sound..

Buy silence pad, you can practice it at afternoon, remove it.. And you can get the cool effect.. If it is evening, put them on.. Like wearing clothes la..

That is other say... 20-30k, of course you can get a better quality stuffs.. But 20-30k, not everyone on to it. An acoustic only cost 2-3k, and it is consider ok already..
So to reduce the sound and get same quality, need to amplify budget x10 times? Hahaha..

yea 

tested pearl e-pro that day    still sound pretty electronic, IMO still no e-kit can replace the feel of a real 1

anyway is up to personal preferences

hi pros (particularly isaacmiranda, boner, bomb, treflip, franklooi and others)

How do u play triplet bass beat on the kick then eighth note on the hi hat? The coordination like veyr weird not sure the middle truplet note shud be where...

Can teach?

do bentley have pearl reference drum kit
how about the price

I mean I really don't get the technique, like heels up or heel toe etc2. Just don't know if the method I'm using is correct. But i can't get to play it :/

Hmm, You can try listening to Paramore - That's what you get

Correct way of kicking the bass drum is the heel should not be touching the pedal. Your sole of your feet should be projected to around 30-45 acute degree towards the pedal.
To give a good bass hit, kick the bass hard and confidently, and do not let go of the pedal until before you are going to kick the next time. Let the kick slammed and stick to the bass skin. With this method, there will be no pale kicks (a loud kick, follow by a few fade away kicks)

And as for fast kicking (using one leg to do x2, x4 times faster), it takes sometime to practice. Similar to your hand + wrist movement. If you move your hand without wrist movement to play a x2 faster beat, your hand (arm) needs to move x2 to match it. But by adding wrist into action, arm needs to move x1, and wrist x1 (not so tiring).
Apply this to the bass drum kicking. Your leg move, and your ankle move as well, then you will be able to do fast bass kick without needing to use double pedals. No shortcut, it is a painful training...

Probably you are right. But for me personally, heel down really could not give a good kick because there is a feeling of not enough power in the kick.. (Not in a good position to deliver a good kick). But again, that is for me.. I do not know about others.. But I am sure that most of you guys here use Heel up..

By the way, i can do around 220+ bpm using a single kick

Yea, of course can hang for more than 1 minute. Can go with that for a song or 2
But usually this kind of kicking is played on Metal songs, or they call it blast beat...

Usually my songs do not need blast beat...and it is not metal..

I don't find projection any problem now. If you put a enough far distance between your throne and the pedal, you can get more projection. Cause you can step on the pedal easier and more power.

lol. hating elec drum kits is like hating electric guitar.
