[zuzuRahg]

WHY ARE THEY SO F**KIN EXPENSIVE GOD?!

[sorskilla]

ACOUSTIC DRUMS?!?!?!?! YOU'RE AN IDIOT. THERE AREN'T TRIGGERS ON DRUMS YOU IDIOT

[eatsleephockey94]

ACOUSTIC DRUMS?!?!?!?! YOU'RE AN IDIOT

[anexrox]

just out of curiosity, why would someone buy an electronic drum set over an acoustic, if the sound is pretty much the same?

[ACompetitiveHalo]

@anexrox lol. there's a lot of reasons. it could be that the guy isn't good, or that the guy is too loud on an acoustic set, and he lives in a neighborhood. I think it's pointless, though. spend thirty thousand compared to three thousand for a drum set with the only difference between an acoustic drum and itself being that the sound comes through headphones, not the actual drums.

[anexrox]

@ACompetitiveHalo wow that's pretty sad lol

[oberhofedavi]

@anexrox well for the most part the real drum kit is preferred, since it just plays better, gives better sound, ect.. however, the electric drum kit is moreso for people in my situation, living near people who just don't wanna hear it. If i played a real drum kit all the time, I'd be evicted very quickly

[anexrox]

@oberhofedavi oooo ok. cuz i guess on this one u could adjust volume so that you don't bother the tenants or wtvr. that's cool i guess. thanks :) would you happen to know where i could get a cheap set for ? i really dont care for brand names or wtvr but i dont want it breaking on me either, its just that im tight on money and want a kit

[TheCrossbowsniper]

@anexrox just get a dd502 legacy eletronic drum kit price:$580 dollars

[davidservas]

no shit sherlock

[malcolmgetscrazy]

ELECTRONIC NOT ELECTRIC FFS

[Puffinyat]

so is a electric drum set even worth buying? because friends tell me if im going to invest in a set i should just get an acoustic one, but 1. to big for my room 2. to loud

[LookAtThatBigNameYo]

can some1 tell me how much a whole kit (with double bass) costs?pls i really wanna learn to drum

[thoughtsthroughsound]

@LookAtThatBigNameYo I just bought a brand-new full decent kit for 500$ (canadian).

[bryanjel]

@thoughtsthroughsound

What did you get? And where? I live in Toronto btw. And Im lookin for a good starting set of drums

[thoughtsthroughsound]

@bryanjel i'm not the greatest reference because I'm just starting to drum. At the same time i love my basic set, great sound and great feel. If you google images "x sound eletric drum set" it's the first two images (red and black). 500$ plus tax is the standard retail price for that set, so as long as you can get to a "steve's music store" a "music express" or any place that carries instruments, they'd be probably more then willing to order one for you, mine took a week to come in.hopethishelps

[FlacidPandaMonkey]

I liked Napolean dynamite. lol funny low budget film. I thought this was rather informative, so thank you :)

[lawnelson]

Can you use brush sticks there?

[douchebag21]

he looks like a movie extra straight out of Napoleon Dynamite hahaha

[ransisua]

expertvillage huh.....no wonder

[ookkelolmo]

@SotR59 im finnish so om not good at english, idiot

[ookkelolmo]

you idiot you have putted the symbals wires wrond side !

[Taztingo]

"this is an electric kit... it's a lot different than an acoustic kit."

Yeah, thanks for that... douche...

[defenceman20]

If you crash the ride *ride sound* FAIL

[gdrummer1234]

You don't need to explain everything,.... BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT E.KITS!

1. That Roland is different from other E.kits.. eg. Yamaha, and other cheaper kits

2. Not all kits are as sensitive as it so, it's better if you just explain the kit's features..

3. You dont deserve that kit..

[hofnermty]

".....and in my next video, i´ll tell you which which drumstick to hold with each hand" lame

[asoastig]

Too Bad it costs like 3000 bucks :(

[hipposmook]

I thought this was common knowledge

[InsanityDrumming]

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to take a regular snare drum and take the top off and put a electric snare drum top on it and hook it up to a electric drum set and use it like a regular electric snare drum???????

[BENTLEYtheSKATEMAN]

@InsanityDrumming just trigger it using drum triggers. alot easier.

[OMGItsPhilipRedlund]

HA-HA?!

[skate4fun122]

1:34 to 1:37 is the start to Bang your Head (Metal Health) by Quiet Riot!

[daplayer]

Damn, I'm more of an expert and i'm not that good of a drummer

[deloreanfan81]

so want a drum set like that..plug the ear phones in and still go to town

[TBSxDRUMS]

I have a question about the electric drums... Can you set how you want your drums to sound like if you prefer muted/unmuted or dead or more resonance? Or does it only give you a few limited ways to make it sound?

Great video by the way, you answered almost all my questions :)

[hamster10197]

he doesn't deserve that kit

[MSdwerr]

@hamster10197 You dont deserve to be on youtube.

[wemustpushon]

That was everything else but not a way to explain the way electric drums work.. I was expecting something more thorough into the electronics.. that guy just showed us how the set sounds.. nothing more.. nothing less..

[pballer225]

You need to rename to novicevillage, all of your videos are made by someone that has extremely little knowledge of the subject. And you're trying to instruct other people?...

[julieswahn]

Thank you! You gave more info in this than many other videos I have watched. I still am curious about what I'd need to pay for a verrry basic kit. I prefer acoustic ones but gotta go with e-drums due to living downtown in an apt. And have a husband :) I play terribly but it is great fun to me and I need some sort of exercise like that where I love doing it, and this would be it. Thanks for any info! Now to watch some of your other vids...

[fotarassman]

How much it is cost that Thing ?? please asnwer me

[4455RockerTV]

there isn't much of a difference between acoustic and electric btw

[NoShaDow36]

@SiameseDream4321 most electronics are just as much as acoustics

[Kdrumsx]

@NoShaDow36 I traded my masters for a roland td-12. Love it, I can practice much more, and it really helps your playing.

[brillz55]

what kind of set is that ?

[TheMysteryBoxx]

im getting a roland td-12 this saturday :D i'm trading away my acoustic for it because they're that good (:

[happyface3443]

i want one now

[imnotastripper]

you can get headphones for it

[videogamehelp45]

who r u

[tenisplayer]

thank good i am a engineering if don't i would not have understand this explication. Now im going to make one.

[imHXCw00t]

you can get a real nice electric drum set, but I still think acostic drums are way better. If you just play by yourself, not in a band, or you live in an apartment and don't want to piss you neighbors off then electric sets are probably good. I'd say electric sets over 700 or 800 are probably pretty nice.

[bubbles1062]

I got Acoustic and like Acoustics better. :p

[videogamehelp45]

in some cased yes but you aren't the judge of what drums are better for people, you might be influencing the decision to an beggining player, and if you like acoustics better why are you even watching, you probably dont have drum scince what your comment said is so baised it's really not that bealivable

[RyanTeachen]

omg we don't have downsindrome you nob!

[manboy1]

what is the point....

[fikapaburk]

If you live in an appartment, you don't want your neighbours to complain.

[odstdood]

@fikapaburk true thts why i want one ha

[raingrass1]

I want those for this years christmas 2009

[shads7rockon]

can someone plz tell me cuz i wanted to buy new electric drums but idk if i need a special amp for electric drums or can i just use a woofer or sub woofer that i have or just anyother speaker

[SuzieD8]

An amp you usse on a guitar works!

[lokoraro]

electric drums are shit...get a real one.

[dragonballz1222]

1 they take to much room 2 there over 200 dollars

[Malibu71]

i just bought mine roland td4 today ;)

[Lastyest3rday]

are they good?

[Malibu71]

yeah

i paid 1400$ euro

[chabal1234]

i want one :O

[Guitarnoob99]

cool

[josefinavelarde]

is it possible to connect two electric drum module?

i bought an electric drum(simmons sd5k) and i am planning on buying a new drum set(simmons sd9k). i'm just wondering if I could connect them to each other.

[MrKiloppolik]

i think so

[troybetz]

No, but you can connect them to the same drumset.

[antibulletdodger101]

I can see your balls thru your jeans!

[romadadrummer]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[djones1243]

is this video made for 2 year olds?

[PahaJeesus]

Stating the obvious. This is such a useless video.

[antibulletdodger101]

haha! yeah dude

[ilhadosmacacos]

lol ur bad

[shaneplett20]

@hammer663tube thats super funny!

[L3GT1]

that's ture

[blueshadow110820]

what kind of drum set is this and where did you get it

[goodemoboy]

blueshadow110820, this is a TD-9 KX. and you can get it any any store that sells instruments (not Walmart)

[OPJ666]

I have the elctrical drums....its awesome

u can play music and stuff in it! i love it!!!!

[ftmJason]

yeah you could use a guitar amp but the quality of sound may not be quit as good as a whole system

[nobody000tube]

This is a good demo of Electronic PADS. There is a world of difference in ELECTRIC DRUMS. The term is used loosely and confuses some people.

[troybetz]

These are technically not pads. Their is a mesh head over a shell, and there is rebound produced by the head.

[malchiah9090]

Nobody cares...

[ftmJason]

yes you do need an amp. i have an electric drum set and i hook mine up to me sound system but you can hook it up to an amp. the quality of sound is just better when you have a whole system..actually thats not a dumb question.

[peeogioh]

what about a guitar amp? could u run a elec. drums through that?????

[schoolssuck]

No, but I think a bass amp will work....or maybe a tube amp

[kurtinblood]

Sorry for the questinon, im quite ignorant when it comes to drums, especialy ELECTRIC drums: Where does the sound come from? Do you need a amp or something like that, or what... Sorry again,

[TheScourgeResistant]

Velocity that's the word!
