Get from Bentley right?

Hey there guys, newcomer reporting in! Please welcome and I hope I can learn something here.

Hello welcome...can have some pics of your setup?

home drum practice ? how? digital drums or cheap acoustic drums with mute pads ? how to silence the hi hats ?

Too bad I sold it. I had to because my mom doesn't want me to make noise and do music at our new house. She asked me to buy electronic drumset.

Dayum.

You should have bought mesh heads...electronic nice meh?

I don't know. That's what she told me to get. Haven't planned or surveyed yet. Anything you'd like to recommend?

can't go wrong with roland or yamaha
alesis quality is questionable

You mean electronics?

Electronic Drums.

Haha. Thank you for the correction. Noob here. I heard roland is worth buying considering the quality? Is that true?

Yes...but it's expensive. Be prepared.

for silent practice just put any shirt on the cymbals and toms..cheapest way imo

yeah sure u didnt get the feeling and the sound, but at least u get to practice ur chops..haha

electronics the way to go bro..but make sure u try to play in a acoustic setting once in a while, cuz the bounciness of pad and toms are totally different..if u play fast in electronic, doesnt mean ur playing in acoustic is the same too..

u can get very good digital drums for around 7K

basic drums for practice (roland vdrums) starts at RM2900 i think ?

That's why I said "worth". Haha. Because the price is just so high.

Edrum is great for practising. I'm using the Billy Blast Ballistech mesh heads on my e-drum. No doubt, the response is slightly different from accoustic drum but you may barely notice it (depends how you set it up). Much better than using plastic pad. The only problem I have when playing with my e-drum is can't play different tone with one trigger and software freeze. I'm using the cheap Alesis drum though.

So depending on how you set it up, the response may differ? I didn't know that. So how do you set it up correctly? I mean to get the best response?

Snare pad and kick pad. That's what I'm doing now la. I saw a really cheap Roland TD-10 go for about RM3k the other day, almost got it! But at the last minute the auction price shot up. HAHA

isaacmiranda7, would u prefer e-drums for practicing ?
