Grooving on my new Roland TD-9s

[thesuperbowlchamp1]

great set, the only prob i have with it is 1. i find that the snare is too small and im always hitting the rim, and 2. the symbols arent too good. but idk maybe its just me.... any problems with it for you?

[Battossai3000]

i have a question...can you put your own pedals on the electronic drumset...or does it have like a default one that you cant get out

[PIRTEKM3]

Nice work. I just got rid of a kit just like this and I've posted some stuff on here. I get a kick out of people implying that it takes less talent to play with an electric kit. You still need groove and you have it in this clip. I just might be stealing some of your stuff thank you very much.

[PIRTEKM3]

Nice work



[workt71]

Dope!

[airmannajera]

i love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Dominickbmusic]

you have sort of a crash cymbal sound on your tom it's funny. ^^

I'm just about to buy this set right now, after several days of studying what kit is best for me... Great playing by the way, I'd take my guitar and jam with you anytime! :)

[wesdabest787]

cymbals chokable????

[bugstile]

@wesdabest787 The cymbals are chokeable.

[PapaSmurf6768]

lol at 1:24... i do that all the time. great video!

[YouHaveMetYourMaker]

What's a better idea? Buy a TD-9S and take lessons, or take lessons until I get good then buy a TD-9SX?

[13Jmart]

@YouHaveMetYourMaker TD-9SX you dnt need lessons. jus watch other drummers on youtube. its how i learned!!

[Miskonzin]

SICK drumming man! You're really good!

[Harrysound]

I bought Hd-1 a few weeks back just trying to find time to play them is a problem right now but should get better soon.

Can't wait till i'm at the stage where I can actually move bits of me when I want and make my own beats up.

I could do with learning a real easy rock song thats kinda interesting,any ideas?

My mate suggested Smells Like Teen spirit but it's a little bit too old hat.

[iCanHazSkillz]

Well, what i usually do, and highly enjoy, wich i reccomend to all drum players, from new to proffesional is that you take a slow song you like, wich has either no drums, or few, or a pretty simple beat, and just start making up your own in there!

If you didnt get wich song i ment its like, Let it Be (Beatles), Hero of War (Rise Against), Run (Snow Patrol) and so on, love doing it, and always play songs you like!

I also have the HD-1, but im getting a TD-9K soon.

Take care, hope this helped you!

[LevitatorMusic]

DUDE check the video on my page. maybe we could colab via the internet

[igknightus]

is there really a difference in sound quality between this and the one with all mash pads?

[seanlame]

There is no difference in sound, only feel.

[Em4Freak]

@gibson00000000000000

[Fearstormdrum]

Very good the pattern of "bleed"!!!

[ScreamoDrummer4life]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! that was freaking amazing!!!

[lotus361]

Way sick dude! I was hoping this kit was double-bass compatible, and your video fully satisfied my question. :-)

[guitarmas23]

1:26 Priceless.

[seanlame]

shit happens :)

[glovester]

Nice messhuggah beats

[TheFunneeMan]

Get a Pintech. The module sounds awesome though! Nice work.

[DoctorpepRR]

Those one double bass patterns sounded like the ones in the intro for the song Bleed by MESHUGGA

[valhallenx]

shit! you rock dude!

[seanlame]

thanks! :)

[wedshooter1234]

How is this selling th TD-9 The ddrum stuff is in another world, the machine gun and crappy sounds - just awful sounding.

[b34rd4dlov3r]

You are wrong kid...I have this kit too. It has more than 500 sounds.

[rds076]

O_o Muy bueno

[Potts132]

OMG i just got mine today. THERE SO SWEET!!!!

[Atedaze8]

sick beats, dude.

[Sheyiradril]

great technique, and hot kit, i'm definitely gonna buy one this fall, roland rocks :D

[cacothead12]

I have that same drum set, but not the same brain =(

[Amnesiam]

Awesome!

The part when you lost your sticks was epic!

I'm planning to buy this or the TD-3!

[seanlame]

The TD-3 was just discontinued, so you've got to get either the TD-4 (new) or the TD-9

[Amnesiam]

I've decided to buy the TD-9! :3

Thanks for the info anyways!

Peace!

[Dayyyv]

I have the TD-3 and long for the TD-9. I would say save for it.

[GlaffFilmsLtd]

whys your one tom acting as a cymbol did you set it up that way?

[voiceofthelost]

That's the beauty of an electronic kit, it's damn near infinitely customizable.

[Fallen1101]

I like the part when your drum stick fly's and then you lift your shoulders:D

[walkingturnip]

I'm planning on buying this kit, at least a TD-9. But I was wondering if the difference between rubber pads and mesh pads is enough to pay the extra 700$, just to get mesh tom heads. Please answer!

[nIcKeLzMaN]

i got a TD-9S ummmmmm i mean like if u really want to mesh heads u can. if u just buy the rubber head one and u still want mesh heads, u can buy them separately but its more expensive. i just stayed wit the rubber heads, there's a slight difference but its alright, hope this helps =)

[walkingturnip]

thanks! I decided to get the TD-9s. Works great and its lotsa fun!

[nIcKeLzMaN]

anytime =)

[stevey192]

Hey dude... It depends if you wish to progress onto a better feel. I am now selling my td3 that came with rubber pads and now after a couple of years i think i would benifit from mesh and a better module. Tbh i think to start rubber is fine but mesh is that little bit more nicer to play with. However, you wont realise the difference after a while... Its like buying a car with or without power steering :)

[mateoarv]

sick

[jakeo102]

Sick dude, interesting style. You just helped me decide to buy the TD-9s. Thanks.

[ajpankake]

im planning on getting that same set, do you like it?is it totally awseone??

[italianboy2k7]

id love to see u do that on an acoustic kit

[seanlame]

Are you implying that I can't, or that it will sound better?

[italianboy2k7]

i wasnt being meen i ment to say id like to see u do it because its much harder....plus acoustics rule

[seanlame]

Hmmm. Well, I've been playing acoustic and elctronic kits for over 11 years, and its not any harder for me ;)

[jodoelnick]

hey man... can u add any other tombs or zymbals to the original roland set?? ... if yes ... how many??

[Colnando]

Yes, you can :) I just bought this kit and added a ride and a another bass kick.

It basically has 2 extra ports and an additional plug on the ride side for expansion.

The main ports are A>) For an extra crash and B>) the Aux port is for an extra tom or kick.

A fantastic kit overall... best bang for yer buck ;)

[drummerboi621]

are the toms and snare dual zone?

what about cymbals

what zones are they?

also could someone tell me what they would chooose??

yamaha dtxpress IV Special...or... the roland td-9s

[diwataness]

i can answer your questions for you :P

all the toms (even the snare!) are dual triggered. I have assgined splash cymbals on my tom rims and a triangle on my snare's rim in my TD9kit. you can tweak any pad on this thing totally! i sometimes even convert my hihats (CY-5) into congas

the cymbals are mutli-triggered as well - mine, for example, has a china on the edge, ride for the most part, and a ride bell of course on one CY-8 pad.

[diwataness]

i recommend roland's TD-9 cause it can really teach you how to become more accurate with your chops (it's got a scope function and a versatile metronome that shows the notes on its screen everytime you play; therefore, you can judge yourself whether you are metronome-abiding or not. Another thing is Yamaha's DTX have really gummy pads - the toms feel too gummy - basically it doesnt feel like those of an acoustic kit.

[drummerboi621]

well yesterday i was just at guitar center and it seemed that when i tested out the td-9...the rims didnt make different sounds

on the td-9sX it did..but not the td-9s

im hoping it is just because people play with it a lot so it kinda broke from rough housing

also...if i wanted to in the future...could i buy mesh heads to replace rubber ones

and one more thing

the ride cymbal

how many ways can u hit it..crash too?

thank you for the answers

[diwataness]

sure thing!

"people play with it a lot so it kinda broke from rough housing"

- that's probably what happened. But trust me- the tom pads are dual triggered. All you have to do is press a few buttons to assign it with different sounds and hit the rims on a certain angle. It's that simple

For the ride cymbal (both the crash and ride cymbals for the TD-9S are CY-8 pads), yes, you may trigger it with any drum/cymbal/percussion you want: crashes, chinas, rides , totally up 2 U.

[kliffster]

how much was this?

[Antsu666]

Where did u buy this kit? im thinking to buy this =)

[MichaelStenland]

How do you do that tom roll between tom 1 and tom 3 and bass?

around ~2:38 -2:40

[wondermur]

Nice job! Cool kit. I LOVE the stick drop @ 1:25! Good sense of humor!

[sdry]

Nice vid/demonstration. Planning to buy same kit.

[proNoobist]

nice playing, was some of that a bit of meshuggah?

[mudvaynejjag]

I have the older model of the td 6 with all mesh pads there both very awesome its hard to stop playing them,yours has way more options. Are you still playing axis pedals?

[Spacecowboyy]

insane man (Y).

except, why'd you buy one of these when you have a really good acoustic kit?

[seanlame]

Volume control! I can play literally whenever I want and not worry about pissing people off. Its also good for teaching lessons.

[kKKHUSHAL]

hey thats an awesome sounding kit. i was wondering is it possible to attach a double bass drum pedal like a tama iron cobra to these kits? because these are awesome kits but thats my only concern.

nice drumming

[gostviper1]

yes you can

[jrod10021]

i just bought one of these for 1375 including shipping.

[severemynin]

Man, youve got skills.

[Mikesabre]

Pretty cool man!

[MarioSpeedWagon]

sick shit man.

[Motazaliad]

fucking sexy broseph

[JanAimar]

Is it possible to connect more toms or cymbals to this kit?

[kobebryant0824]

So... this is just messing around to you. I can't even play like that yet even if I tried my hardest! O_O
