Hey - are those v pads? Where did you get 16'' mash head?

FL Studio is the best! Get some samples on my vids!

how are the cymbals electronic?? it says in the description it's got smartriggers on it but how does that also make it silent?? Thank you in advance

[superbrian113]

I have tried the roland RT10 triggers on my acoustic Premier Signia set with pinstrike heads - like both an electric and an acoustic set. - this way i wanted to use it onstage. But i get a lot of "clicking" sounds etc. Even if i adjust the parameters for the trigger on the drummachine (it´s the TD12 like yours) I cant get rid of this click - di you any ideas to help me?.

horrible samples. such a waste of an awesome kit.

@weareewancameron

Why was it a waste of the kit when I was able to play the kit acoustically during the day and electronically via triggers at 3am? Surely that is getting the best use out of a kit?

While the 'recorded V-drum sounds are not perfect, what you hear when playing is far more realistic, but by using some VST, you can play almost any kit you want - 24 hours a day.

[weareewancameron]

@1663PPP surely the cymbals are just as loud at 3am?

[1663PPP]

@weareewancameron

No, they are 'electronic cymbals' as well, so I can practise on my kit acoustically during the day and then 'electronically' at night and not have to worry about different position of drums / cymbals, it's the same kit. So it is getting maximum use from the kit.

mate, i have the birch catalina and would love to stick some roland triggers/heads on it...and btw, top marks for ten weeks back on it, skilllllz!

[Paitsch]

I don't like those samples at all.

[kalynbaur]

Dude...you're breaking my heart. Why oh why would you waste the amazing sound of that ash kit by making it electric?

[1663PPP]

@kalynbaur

Why was it wasted?

I was able to use it both acoustically and electronically, so isn't it better to be able to use the same kit all the time?

hey is this snare worth £50 used? I saw one on a clearance sale but didnt know anything about it

[ChibiDrummer]

In your opinion, do you think the Catalina Ash sounds better than the Catalina Maple?

[1663PPP]

I wouldn't say it sounded better than the Maple, just different.

Personally I loved both the Ash and Maple tones, but naturally this kit was converted to use as an 'e' kit.

I use a Gretsch Renown Maple as my main kit, now that is awesome!

[SUCmehFIREbawl]

@ChibiDrummer it all is opinion, but i think the ash is better sounding

[1663PPP]

Hi

These are the Roland mesh heads which means I can do these videos at 3am and not bother anyone!

[scouserEFC81]

hey mate nice work, im going to start my acoustic to electric kit very soon. I currently have a mapex mars pro and an electric roland TD20. If you dont already know about it, use toontrack Superior 2.0 to trigger REAL drum samples instead of triggering the synthetic sounds on the module. They will blow you away, and you'll wonder how you ever liked the module sounds. Trust me!

[1663PPP]

Thanks for your kind words.

Agreed Superior 2.0 is the way forward, I have it, just need to spend some time with it.

Hope you A2E kit works out well!

[shlempnar]

thats alot of drum for not very much dough

[Maxidrum71]

wow the sound x).I think that i will buying this drum set but for the moment I haven't any money ^^".I think that catalina ash sound better than catalina maple.Sorry if i make some mistake I'm french^^"

[gnitch]

[1663PPP]

Thanks for the kind words guys - still relatively early days, so I hope to be making large improvements!
