has anyone tried XM drums ? how was it? planning to get one soon

how do you guys silence your drum kit :S or do you have a vdrum for practice.. im planning to get my own drumset (i usually go play at a jamming studio) but am a little concerned about the noise to the neighbours.. especially when i play metal songs mostly haha.

but does it really help :/ i tried on my friend's but its still loud with the mute pads. amd cymbals sounds really weird which is obvious why XD.. havent tried mesh heads tho . did you guys do anything to the walls to reduce the sound to your neighbours?

im staying in a single storey so e kits should be fine then .. but the price is .. im staying in a rented house and have elderly neighnours.. problem ni.. im tired of smacking pillows to practice already hahaha

and some paradiddle.. pillows got no bounce so its tough (i heard it can help improve speed XD) but usually i arrange them around my table and play like a drum haha.

with rm3k at my disposal.. which e drum would you guys recommend? are xm drums good? im tempted with the dtxplorer but xm seems to provide full mesh heads :/ with almost the same price

ended up getting the xm electric drum kit there's a used dtx explorer in garage sales for 2K tho

anyone has comments on maxtone's double pedal? on a thight budget of 500 ><. personally i played on ICs eliminators and gilbratar's direct and belt drives before and my preference is to eliminators (not the DD).

js music also no stock? awwman.. perhaps ima go test out the dw2000 haha.. i heard its good

ah.. laggy is not nice i guess i'll need to fork out for better ones. hopefully some eliminator or dw7000 rebranded to dw3000 appear on garage sales haha

i do.. really interested in one specifically the flying dragon.. but that depends on the price just started to buy my own drumset (been playing on a friend's / going to jamming studio all these while) and its an electric one since i live in a packed neighbourhood.. so budget is kinda tight

you got any music background? as in piano/guitar.. if yes, then reading those should be peace of cake XD

tempo is exactly the same with other sheet music for other instruments..

try using brasso (metal polish) after washing? tho i dont know will it affect the sound? but definitely you'll get the shine back

huhuhu... issit only just me or the tama iron cobras are hard to play.. never had problems with eliminators tho :S would it be wise and reasonable if i would wanna ask for trade with an eliminator?

nice drum you got there :/ ... now i cant wait to graduate and move out of this rented house so i can replace my Edrum with a real one hahaa...

well.. my iron cobra was actually fine was wondering why the slave was so stiff then some squeaky sound appear few days later.. bought some sewing machine oil and its now playing fine

i always keep my hardware especially the pedals oily to avoid rusts and squeaky sounds
using superoil ... can be bought at hardware shops for RM1.60 (ala sewing machine oil)

tokyo jihen is good for starters imo.. been practicing 修羅場 (adult ver.) and 能動的三分 myself

and a pair flying dragons to match the yamaha theme also needs more e-cymbals

hey guys..besides benteley which obviously a throat cutter.... know anywhere else that sells TAMA snares? im looking for specifically for a 14"6.5 steel snare sommore
