Oic. So if put tissue will more tight sound. Is it proportional to the thickness or area of the tissue?

I also dun like look messy but no choice la cos the sound too loud need to muffle. Mine is a pearl masters 8 X 12". Quite big.

ok this is random..
my reso in 2014 is to learn drumming while reading the notes..
my q is where in kl provide these lesson nearby lrt ??
any website to refer ??

I'm interested to start learning drum... any recommended musical centre around Kepong area?

Which part of Damansara ? Sri Damansara ?

Anybody here know if its safe/okay to purchase electronic drums from overseas? Like U.S for example? Planning to get an Alesis DM6 from Amazon, not sure if kena tahan by customs. If I really have to buy one here, chances are, I'd probably go with Yamaha DTX400 but would like to see if anyone got sell used set.

I looked through the tariffs website and it says percussion musical instruments at 0% import rate but 10% sales tax, not sure what that means. E-mailed them but their reply wasn't really helpful. I have to buy an e-drum kit as I'm staying in an apartment.

Guys, going to buy a electronic drum set (can't get an acoustic cause too loud)

I have 2 choices here:

Roland TD-11k
Yamaha DTX522

Which 1 should I go for? I've tried roland's mesh pad and i think they feels great but I haven't try out Yamaha's yet. Any yamaha e-drum owner here? Any feedbacks?

Thanks

Hey! Congrats on your purchase!

Well for my case, my lighting rods had some chips on the size. Used it for a couple of gigs so the side were pretty worn out. Then wanted to try out some experiment. Because Roland mesh is so sensitive, you can tap it with finger and it'll sound. So was thinking if I could cheat with a single lighting rod to get a double stroke since the individual stick will hit about mili seconds apart.

After a few tries (about 3 minutes in) the mesh was not as sensitive. And eventually found out that some of the wood chips actually went in between the mesh. At first we thought it couldn't be the problem, but when we sent it for service we found out that it is. Something to do with the sensor sense the tension of the mesh to trigger, but if the chips are in between it may cut off the signal.

We read about it, but did not find anything as what the service person told us - so for now, just make sure your drum stick isn't having any chipped while playing?

As mentioned on earlier post before, i prefer Roland over Yamaha because for me the sponge pad on Yamaha tends to bounce too much, i felt that the mesh pads have the feeling that i want; but Roland's module sounds bit more synthetized than Yamaha.
