Cool I'm gonna go buy this kit - oh yeah wait... I'll need about EIGHT GRAND for this set-up. Yeah thats right, most drummers have 10's of thousands of pounds in the bank to spend on what is a necessary trade tool. How incredibly irrelevant Rolands entry point is to the Market. Come on Roland, help us drummers out by making your kits affordable as yes, we do want them and we do want a decent set-up that we can gig with. But we don't want to have sell a kidney and a child to get one.
While nothing can beat the acoustic kits, electric kits can bring a whole different dimension to percussion playing, and drummers like Omar Hakim and Bill Bruford prove that. Electric kits shouldn't sound so much like real kits, they should have their own unique sounds so as to make itself stand out.
This video doesnt suggest V-drums are better than acoustic, nor does it suggest Omar uses only V-drums. Its just a video of what Omar sounds like playing V-drums. Omar can make 5-gallon buckets sound good. I own both V-drums and acoustic and I enjoy both sets the same. V-drums especially when my wife is asleep.
i like Omar but i think people who plays electronic drums cheats. It takes so much pounding to do this on a real kit while you can actually sleep and still be able to drum on an electronic set.
Grouop Buy on sample tank XT over at ik multimedia's website right now ! 30 some days left on this buy !!! $49.00 - we're at 4X1 now !!! almost 5X1 !! Great deals.
head over to Ik Multimedia's site to see the info !!! and get one ! like I did! Shoot, I bought TWO ! now I have 8 Sample Packs for $80.00 :)
if you like music you probably like at least one song with synthetic drums. thats reason alone to appreciate these. its not like the government is debating whether they should outlaw acoustic drums, so why even have sides? i play guitar and no one bitches about electric or acoustic or effects pedals and shit, we just do whatever we need to do to get the sound we want.
I think anyone who complains about V-Drums not sounding or responding like acoustic drums is a moron.
If you want acoustic drums, use acoustic drums.
But some people are not stuck in the past, holding onto the idea that a 'good' sound is the sound of acoustic 'Rock' drums we've all heard thousands, if not millions, of times before.
Some people want to embrace the new sounds and new possibilities that V-Drums allow and do their own thing, not imitate others.
I think people that bang on about vdrums not being the same as acoustic sound like a broken record.
I couldn't practice enough if i didn't have the vdrums - i simply cannot practice on the acoustic kit for any prolonged period - My neighbors would call the police. You can hear me playing the acoustic kit at the end of my street.
They serve their purpose : quiet practice with reasonable realism.
The whole elec vs acoustic debate is completely pointless.
@djbarnat well the debate is often about what is better overall as an instrument. Pretty much the debate boils down to which of the 2 you should own, and tht is all personal preference
Yeah I also play on these drums every Sunday, and there not the best. There's alot of sound mess ups. Real drums are much better for live performances.
im no drummer just a recording and mixing engineer. Acoustic may sound better but what about mics what about the room by the time your done it cost way more to record an acoustic drum set. Hands down i'd rather be recording one of these. You will always get a perfect sound out regardless of the room. Electric drums for recording HANDS DOWN! I'm bout to go buy one now haha!
I play a set of these every Sunday and have for the last 3 or 4 months. Needless to say Im not having fun anymore. Everyone in I have talked to who listens tell me they sound canned like a fill button for the drum beat on a keyboard. They rob you of dynamic and individual character. I cant speak to recording studios but for live performance...they stink. Like everyone else observes..a blast to fool around with. The only purpose this kit serves well is practice at home. Live gigs need live drums.
couldnt agree with you more. It's also a lot harder to control your dynamics I find and the cymbals dont blend well. The drums just sound...fake. They all in all just sound like a crappy little MIDI beat
@benciano Also the nice thing about electric kits is you can directly connect it to a mixer or mic-input to directly record which is very nice compared to acoustic kits where you need to balance out the sounds individually.
But seriously, electric kits have come a long way. Of course acoustic are still better, but I mean electric kits are coming really close.
I feel acoustic is way better, BUT these are a blast to fool around on.... and its great to surprise people with crazy sounds that are entirely up to you. :-)

Makes for some neat sounds but they still sound electric. You cant beat the sound of acoustic drums that are miked correctly. Electric drums will always sound canned no matter how good the sampling. Just my 2 cents..
Shaddup ridiculous and comical elitist pig-dog. Who claimed electric kits were ever going to replace drums? What a douchey. I bet there were similar fools who said the same thing when electric guitars started becoming more common half a century ago. What a dunce. Instruments are simply tools. But some buffoons let their specific brand/type of instrument define them as a person. Silly. And it's far more silly when those who say such things arent very accomplished players to boot.
@eggbertsmith What was elitist about the statement electronic kits were to replace the acoustic? (which I don't agree with) Do you even know what the word means?
I wouldn't even take this kit for free. Electric kits have no personality. You can't make electric kits feel like your own, give it your own touch. I hate the way its heading. =[
yeah i also play drums.... i'm about to get a Roland TD-9 soon and i have played both acoustic and electronic drums..... just watch the TD-9 NAMM video..... you can put feel in it.... as long as you get Roland :D
Its a demo of a pieece of equipment. The demo showed what the piece can do and that is that.
If you don't like his style say that, but to insinuate that Omar Hakim doesn't know what he's doing or has run out of ideas or is bored is a bit of a stretch. As far as the digital drummers taking Omar as their champion against acoustic drums, well you only have to look at Omar's body of work to know that he plays more acoustic than digital and has done over many years for many top names.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Tired of lame ducks passing off their post-binge best onto unwitting tards. This guy is just messing around. No aim, no challenge unto himself. He's bored and played out. Maybe he could do better but we will never know. Next time he wastes a plane ticket to Japan, I hope he brings something better than is guitarcenter jam pack
macben....yea I own a set, TDS 12, had them about 4 years, great fun, great set...Use them daily. Don't use them alot on the gig though, when just the brain is $1000 or more you don't want to be leaving the stuff in the club.
Thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard. Most people who have electric sets have acoustic sets. You still need to ahev the chops and know how to play drums. Some of us live in apartments where its hard to play or practice.
Are ALL the sounds we hear available on the Roland TD-20? Are the imported samples? Anybody know? I have the TD-10 and the GODSEND for that is the EZ-Drummer & the Addictive Drums. I use those software programs from the TD-10 to a MacBook and it works GREAT!!
Agree with this totally. The Roland is for practice and recording so I wish i had just bought a TD6 as Ez-Drummer etc make it obsolete. May as well get a bottom end Roland and save a bundle I say.
What a shame such an extraordinary musician doing this kind of crap.This sounds plastic from the very first minute and it's obvious O.Hakim does this for the sake of money.I would do the same;he has is personal(good)taste and i bet the first thing he does when he goes back home is washing his ears and sit in a proper(real)kit.Thank God!
By the way:i've heard there's a rare video of Steve Gadd playing in a big paper box or sorter and kickin'ass.Does anybody knows about it?
What are you talking about? Those drums sounded great. Granted, i'm not a drummer, but that's too harsh. Electronic drums can do amazing things, especially with metal cymbals, i think only smartrigger can sell them cuz of their patent. I'll be getting the low end Roland vdrum kit soon, so I can learn drumming and sequence myself without using pads(as in finger pads). For anyone doing what I do, electronic is much better than acoustic. Acoustic will always be best for acoustic purposes though.
What does it matter if he is playing an electric kit. Bang a drum or a bucket, its all the same. If you can wail on a electric kit its obvious you can play a conventional set. I have to go along with Stickinthemud57, post up or....you get it.
He could not have played what he played on a "real" kit. It would have required he have a lot of different kits assembled and moved around from one to the other. He was also doing things with the variable tuning features of the TD20 that simply are not possible with an ordinary accoustic kit.
Vulgarity, pedantry, ignorance, and intolerance. Pretty good for just 2-1/2 sentences.
Acoustic kit as opposed to electronic kit. Could it be you really are that dense?
"Room-only players"? Like Neil Peart, Jason Bittner, Thomas Lang, Gregg Bisonette, other top pros and countless other pro musicians who use Vdrums?
Can the vulgarity and grow up. Electronic drums are here to stay. BTW, what venues have you played lately? I'd like to see any videos you might have posted.
Of course Peart uses acoustics as do all the others I mentioned. The point is, edrums have opened up new ways to be creative, just like electronic keyboards did. No one claims these sound like a real grand piano or a pipe organ, it just makes it possible for the average person to have access to those sounds.
No, I mean, acoustic kits rocks, I'm new to drums (play guitar actually), but Rush is my fav. band, and i've played rock band for almost an year now and i'm so in to drums that i'm considering becoming a drummer. Just have ordered my TD-6 today (actually buying it from a friend). I live in an apartment and can't afford to play acoustic drums, besides, seems like we can mod the roland to use it with rock band. Now that rocks!!
Well said, I've got Reason now for my Keyboard, personally I think it sounds really darn close (really comes down to the speakers), but I'm able to spend 400 bucks for a program, and get extremely high quality multi-sampled instruments of pretty much every instrument ever made :P
Room-only players? let's talk about tuning for a bit. tuning acoustics can take five minutes or take thirty (depending on what you require soundwise). also...you have virtually twenty kits at your call at any time. you can't do that with an acoustic. I love acoustics (i have one set of acoustic and one set of digitals) for the money and the upkeep (not to mention time and sound requirements or constraits) you can't beat digitals.
this isn't one of his good solos..you should check out some other ones..his technique is excellent...that you have to agree with...but favorite drummer would be Derek Roddy..or even Tomas Haake
i dont know man people are going so hard on electric drums,i love drums and i can't play loud because of the people in the complex,does this ronald set feel like the acoustic?
I don't think the jump was so dramatic as to go from an old acoustic so some BC Rich monstrosity with millions of pedals and giant stacks. The changes in drums have been quicker but who cares, eh? I'll stick to the "natural" way cos that's enough for me.
he's only demonstrating the level that electric kits have reached an the versatility of this specific instrument, so don't expect to be overly impressed by this type of video; it's a demonstration for this v-drum models' release. his live gigs are much better to watch to see him play to his full potential. I've had the pleasure of seeing him play live and he is extremely able and talented, i only wish i could see a gig with him playing alongside satriani on guitar, I'd be lost for words :)
Yeah I think now yamaha as a better sound out of the box, but Roland gives you more sound and physical options, but requires a lot of work to make them sound good!!
dont hate on buddy just because he has his own opinion. frankly i agree with him electric sets are fine and all but its the trade...the business man nothing beats throwing down some solid licks on a well tuned set with some crisp cymbals rubber pads cant come anywhere CLOSE to that
These things are so easy to play, you feel like a pro when you're on them. Good for small spaces and at home cause you get a clean sound with adjustable volume. But live shows acoustic sets are better.
I do agree with you, but you can get a great sound from the V-drums! Check out my videos, I edited some of the sounds and eq'd them using the onboard mixer and stuff. Came pretty close to the original recorded drums! I think they are amazing kits... IMO of course!
wow I love how he like almost never uses the cymbal but it still sound awesome in the fills! I gotta get to learning some more fills that don't involve cymbals as much b/c they sound super cool!

Vulgarity, pedantry, ignorance, and intolerance. Pretty good for just 2-1/2 sentences.
Acoustic kit as opposed to electronic kit. Could it be you really are that dense?
"Room-only players"? Like Neil Peart, Jason Bittner, Thomas Lang, Gregg Bisonette, other top pros and countless other pro musicians who use Vdrums?
Can the vulgarity and grow up. Electronic drums are here to stay. BTW, what venues have you played lately? I'd like to see any videos you might have posted.

Nice said Stickin! i'm gonna buy an eletronic kit.
Neil Peart rules!!! If he uses, i'll use it!
JulioBrutal 3 years ago
Go for it Julio!
Of course Peart uses acoustics as do all the others I mentioned. The point is, edrums have opened up new ways to be creative, just like electronic keyboards did. No one claims these sound like a real grand piano or a pipe organ, it just makes it possible for the average person to have access to those sounds.

No, I mean, acoustic kits rocks, I'm new to drums (play guitar actually), but Rush is my fav. band, and i've played rock band for almost an year now and i'm so in to drums that i'm considering becoming a drummer. Just have ordered my TD-6 today (actually buying it from a friend). I live in an apartment and can't afford to play acoustic drums, besides, seems like we can mod the roland to use it with rock band. Now that rocks!!

Well said, I've got Reason now for my Keyboard, personally I think it sounds really darn close (really comes down to the speakers), but I'm able to spend 400 bucks for a program, and get extremely high quality multi-sampled instruments of pretty much every instrument ever made :P

Room-only players? let's talk about tuning for a bit. tuning acoustics can take five minutes or take thirty (depending on what you require soundwise). also...you have virtually twenty kits at your call at any time. you can't do that with an acoustic. I love acoustics (i have one set of acoustic and one set of digitals) for the money and the upkeep (not to mention time and sound requirements or constraits) you can't beat digitals.

Im just not a fan of his style at all. I think drummers like Vinnie, Gary husband and tony williams are just more to my liking
Like this beat at 1:06 is good because its groove but come on thats easy
daisyandsteve 3 years ago
this isn't one of his good solos..you should check out some other ones..his technique is excellent...that you have to agree with...but favorite drummer would be Derek Roddy..or even Tomas Haake

i dont know man people are going so hard on electric drums,i love drums and i can't play loud because of the people in the complex,does this ronald set feel like the acoustic?
superakarma 3 years ago
I dont actually own one, But yes, they do.
The cymbals feel slightly different but not very. You could adjust quite easily.
gavbag1234 3 years ago
I don't think the jump was so dramatic as to go from an old acoustic so some BC Rich monstrosity with millions of pedals and giant stacks. The changes in drums have been quicker but who cares, eh? I'll stick to the "natural" way cos that's enough for me.

This man played in weather report , a band that along the way has included jazz legends such as Wayne Shorter, Joe Zawinful, Airto Moreira etc etc.
David Bowie, Sting, Madonna, Miles Davis and many others have chosen him for their bands. Make no mistake, Omar is world class.

he's only demonstrating the level that electric kits have reached an the versatility of this specific instrument, so don't expect to be overly impressed by this type of video; it's a demonstration for this v-drum models' release. his live gigs are much better to watch to see him play to his full potential. I've had the pleasure of seeing him play live and he is extremely able and talented, i only wish i could see a gig with him playing alongside satriani on guitar, I'd be lost for words :)

These things are so easy to play, you feel like a pro when you're on them. Good for small spaces and at home cause you get a clean sound with adjustable volume. But live shows acoustic sets are better.

I do agree with you, but you can get a great sound from the V-drums! Check out my videos, I edited some of the sounds and eq'd them using the onboard mixer and stuff. Came pretty close to the original recorded drums! I think they are amazing kits... IMO of course!

Yep, they still sound electric - maybe good for rap beats.
Roland's gotten good with the velocity sensitivity/changes but the timbre never really changes like it does on an acoustic kit.
Nothing beats playing on a real set of drums.

Heres the benifit of V-drums, they clean up alot of your playing so you don't hit the rims, but then your ears get sensitive.
