Yup.. the DTXpress cymbal sounds aren't very good, but the acoustic cymbals were way too loud compared to the electronic drums. I had to use rubber pads on the cymbals so they wouldn't overpower the little speakers I was using for the drums.
I used the DTXpress in my video as well. The way I got decent audio was by recording the drums separately from the music track. I then mixed the drums with the TSO mp3 in my editing software and the result is not too bad.
Nice job. I especially like the festive lighting. Check out my vid if you get a chance.
NICE ENTRY - and don't worry about the view count and ratings so much. When Atlantic moved the end date for the contest - they also changed the judging rules. Judging will be done by JUDGES - not YouTube
I appreciate all the comments. I know the sound quality could have been a lot better but I had to use what I had, soo... Oh well, best of luck to everyone who entered :)
I think this guy should win just because he needs a new drumkit. And some sweet cymbals. I cant believe these guys who have half a dozen guitars / keyboard / amps, etc.... in the video like showing off, Hey TSO, buy me another Ok? I am sure they are looking for a talented person who can do alot with a little. I love that spirit. Good Job Drummer. I didnt think the drum tab was accurate at all.
I love this video, you are so awesome , the Christmas lights and being near the fireplace makes it feel more like Christmas time. I enjoyed watching you record this. Good luck! I love you.
Wheres the blast beats?

Nice! You anticipate the beat in a few places...but they are the right places. Good solid playing

Good! And you antisipate (sp?) the beat here and there in just the right places. Good, solid playing.

too bad not everyone judges based on technical acuity and skill... i think you did a good job.

79 ratings and still only 1 star.. why even bother if you're only going to give me one star? there's no way I'm going to win. lol
