[segrist223]

How do u do that half-way closed sound on the high-hat?

[D3S4R0N]

Eine Sache habe ich jetzt nicht ganz verstanden : Es gibt ja einmal "PHONES" und einmal dieses "OUTPUT" . Ist es dafür da dass man gleichzeitig auf seinen Phones und auf Lautsprechern spielen kann ? Bitte um schnelle Antwort ;) Danke im Vorraus.

[MrLeon4646]

also wirklich an alle die sich überlegen ein e drum in der preisklasse des dm 6 zu holen holt euch das dm 6 es ist das beste !!! ich hab alle ausprobiert !!! meine meinung

[andreiradumouse90]

can you add other cymbal pads??

[ozzyblue14]

@andreiradumouse90 no



[GiwrgossMaggot]

what are the dimensions of this kit?

[guitarstack]

what?

[kEYgeNmUsIc1]

hat das denn auch so electro sounds für trance techno und natürlich HARD BASS ?

[piratebri]

dude the fact it allows for rims and partial rims is awesome

[TheLeaguePlayer]

Is it worth buying it?

[ozzyblue14]

@TheLeaguePlayer Yes !!

[MetallicaTime]

ahhhhhhhh fuck it's in german hahaha!!!! totally trippy dude.

[PuR1fy]

It's the Alesis DM-6 ofcourse. The heads are not mesh, but feel a bit like a leather couch, which makes them feel realistic to play and they feel comfortable. At the back of the module, there are different types of connections: headphones, output for an amplifier, mix in (to connect an MP3 or w/e), USB Midi connection (to a Mac or PC). There are different types of drum kits built into the module. This ranges from plain rock to hip-hop etc. You can also make 5 own presets with sounds you choose.

[PuR1fy]

@PuR1fy In total, there are 108 different sounds, of which you can make your own set. Making your own kit is quite easy: you press the voice-button, play the pad and then cycle through the sounds. Press save, choose what preset you want to save it in, press save again and you're done. *he shows some presets and how quickly you can change the kit you're using* There are also 40 songs that you can play along with in the module. They are found under pattern and you can again cycle through them.

[PuR1fy]

@PuR1fy There are drums included in the jam tracks, but you can turn these off to play your own stuff. You can also change the tempo if it's too fast. There is also a metronome included in the module (you can change the sound of the metronome as well: tick, bell, voice ...). Of course there is also a volume knob. You can also see how to play the drums in the jam track on the module (cfr. the lights in the 'pads' on the module). That's about it for the DM-6, but there is a lot more to discover.

[PuR1fy]

@PuR1fy Then there is a marketing speech about that you can always pose questions and that there is a 33-day return service in their store. His name is Tommy. :D

[helmerke94]

Kann man über den hi-hat kontroller double bass spielen??

danke im voraus

[melodiicdeathmetal]

@helmerke94 Man kann, ABER man kanns eigentlich vergessen da man mit dem Hi-Hat Kontroller niemals sauber spielen kann. Ich hab mir einfach ne Double Base gekauft und bin zufrieden. Gruß

[helmerke94]

@melodiicdeathmetal ist das kit denn zu empfehlen wenn man metal spielt?

[melodiicdeathmetal]

@helmerke94 Hmm ich spiele auch eigentlich nur Metal und jetzt (nach 1 1/4 Jahren) spackt langsam die Doublebase.

Also eigentlich is es schon nich schlecht aber Auswahl für z.B. ne China gibts bei dem Drumkit leider keine (guten).

Fazit: Gutes E-Drum für den Preis meiner Meinung nach aber Double Base reagiert langsam nichmehr :/ (Zugegeben ich hau drauf) :D

[helmerke94]

@melodiicdeathmetal danke für die rückmeldung :D

[melodiicdeathmetal]

@helmerke94 Ich helf doch immer gerne ! :D

[OnTheChairProduction]

wheres the english caption button god damnit

Danke für das zum Kauf hilfreiche Video.

[hanshermannful]

@incowar

[cheyennetheguitarist]

[thesoundtestroom]

Ive got one of theses in our home studio, just done a mad just for fun solo with it while playing a roland Gw synth at the same time..I like this kit..go check it out.

[hanshermannful]

Hallo

Ich habe mir das dm6 angesehen

Und bin sehr davon überzeugt.

Habe aber eine frage: kann man die Becken stoppen also den Ton unterbrechen??

Vielen dank im voraus!!!

[Incowar]

@hanshermannful ne leider nicht is fürn anfang abern top kit wenn man ma preis/leistung bedenkt habs selber und spiels mit doublebass recht nett das ding ^^

[BornToPrayproduction]

Kann man auch seine eigenen songs aufs modul laden?

[Incowar]

@BornToPrayproduction kannst handy mp3 player oder so anschließen un die songs dann über kit laufen lassen un deine gespielten drums aufnehmen

[SaltSlasher]

You can buy the snake that has the extra plugs for the one pad and one cymbol on alesis.com, snake+tom+cymbol=about $200, so the $250 price tage is perfectly right.

This is can be used for just about any program including logic, garagband, pro tools, ableton and ezdrummer.

It has a usb/midi cable, which means it will plug in just like a midi controller, but for drum triggering.

[lgallardo93]

coza asy

[randomization630]

Um... English version coming soon?

[MadCrokodile1]

jag verstehe etwas even though i'm not sehr gut in deutsch!

[jed350z]

[iKeyboard15]

[urgodmen]

[AceAcerAspire]

[stef100125]

[bobrobertsz]

Does anyone know who actually manufactures these pads, cause they're the same as the Millenium pads from Thomann, the Medeli pads etc.

[sasboothby]

Are you the gut on e bay trying to sell a tent?

[ProDigit80]

Thank you very much!

Very informative!

I'm not speaking german, but Nederlands, and could understand most of it!

Great demo!

[99vip3r]

[ehleknedrik]

eine frage: ist es möglich auf beide becken crashes zu legen? und dann die ride z.b. auf ein tom-pad zu legen?

english: is it possible to play both cymbles as crashes?(and play the ride on a tom pad?)

[Leovonchemnitz]

@ehleknedrik nein leider nicht aber du kannst den ride komplett weglassen und den crach daruf setzen mfg Leo

[scooterss2112]

@dm6testa777 why has this comment been flagged? this guy seems to be in the DM-6 owners club.

[dm6testa777]

@scooterss2112 y was he flagged

[robbi2629]

0:36 a drumset for stan?

[TheGonzaloDiaz]

@robbi2629 lmao!

[Gerson619ASY]

i just wanna buy this drum because i can connect to pc via usb and use the sounds of ezdrummer or something like that!

dm6 sound module sucks!

[MrTerunious]

@panicom95 This is very late, but maybe there are some people out there, who wants to know the same.

He said, that the pads are a good compromise between rubber-pads and meshhead-pads. "They feel like the leather of my armchair/couch" he said.

To add everything: No you can't choke the cymbals.

If you have problems with your snare get the firmware update from the official alesis site.

Btw the snare has a rim shot function.

[lolo2556]

Sie könnten eine englische Version dieses

[moviejoen]

do you know some computer software for this drum i can't find anything.

[Marofsky]

@moviejoen I here audacity is a good recording program for this. If the question was for recording...

[moviejoen]

@Marofsky thanks man sorry for my bad english I come from the netherlands

[Marofsky]

@moviejoen It's cool. At least you can speak it. Most americans can't even speak it correctly. Anyways. Be careful though. I saw videos of people saying that they use audacity to record it. Not a sure thing, I get my drumkit in a few days, if you haven't already tried the program I'll let you know how it works.

[moviejoen]

@Marofsky thanks man, my computer has crashed i am gonna try it as fast as possible

[smadge1]

despite my not understanding german, you did a pretty good demo of the unit. I'm more interested in interacting with midi software via USB, but it's got some great built in tools to get you started.

[jeremyschnurre]

kann man mit dem Alesis DM6 auch dubble base spielen oder braucht mann da noch ein bestimte sache führ?

[onesogreat77]

what type of usb cord do i need to hook my dm6 up to the computure

[superdarkhypersonic1]

i wish my alesis drumkit looked as new as that

[intoxicationmusic]

Nice Review! Wie siehts denn mit ner Double-Bass-Funktion aus?! Vorhanden?

[Misdirecting]

youtube is american please speak english!

[Headshot1822]

ein neues gesicht cool ^^

[PanosTheDrummer]

If I buy a double-zone cymbal that supports "choking" (Roland CY-8), can I "choke" the cymbal with this module?

[sifeas1]

when you say update to the kit what exactly do you mean??

[TheCousin666]

the high-hat sound is really crapy.... Is it able to use a more authentic one?!

[o0metalrecords0o]

eine frage,

kann man am KICKPAD

eine DOFUMA anschließen?!

das wäre mir dehr wichtig!!

danke :)

[MasterCamz]

my drummer has this kit, its awesome

[eminem1022]

Mein deutsch is sehr slecht i can understand 0,01% of this vid

[Tempusviator]

A word to the wise. If you are considering buying this drum set, then the firmware update is a "must do". I was very unhappy with this set at first and I was advised to do the update and so far so good it seems to have corrected most if not all of the initial problems which I was experiencing. Once you get this set up and working right, it really does do the job quite well. I am really enjoying these drums much better now.

[zninja1]

@Tempusviator

what was wrong with the kid before the update? and what does the update do?

[Tempusviator]

@zninja1, The update corrects a problem where the snare drum has issues both with the overall volume of the snare drum and also where the drum doesn't seem to trigger quite right. I would notice that I would hit let's say several straight beats on the snare and although I would hit them with the same force, one of more beats would sound much louder or softer than the rest. The update took that problem away completely.

[zninja1]

@Tempusviator

okay and okay, thnks so much!

in your opinion should I get this kit?

sounds good, looks good =]

[Tempusviator]

@zninja1 The way that I feel right now, I would say yes, it is cheaper than most other comparable sets out there, I think it sounds real good, it is somewhat sturdy and easy to play, all of the hardware seems to be fine, of the 2 main problems which I encountered, both, 1st the firmware update and then the issue with the tempermental Value control, turned out to be problems which had solutions and not all the sets seem to have these issues ! Let me know how it works out !

[Tempusviator]

@zninja1, I also had a problem with the Value + or - button not working right. I thought at first the update corrected that but it was intermittant so it didn't. Crazy as it sounds, the DM6 module, at least in my case, had to be in a more horizontal position than I was using it, I changed the angle to make it more horizontal so It is fine now. I am happy with the set now but it took some work to resolve some initial issues.

[paddelwiese23]

Super Video, wunderbar vorgestellt,

Vielen Dank!

Hat mir bei meiner Entscheidung meines Wunsch-Drums sehr geholfen!

ihr seid weiter zu empfehlen!

5 Sterne!

[Tempusviator]

Yes, I intend to try that, since I posted that comment about the DM6, I have discovered that if I turn it on about 15 minutes before I use it that it works fine. It just refuses to work correctly when I first turn it on. Thanks for your suggestion . I'll let you know how it plays out.

[kenoi26]

Can i blast beat on the snare?

[yluna217]

only if i understood what he was saying.

[panicom95]

can anyone from germany translate what he says about pads please??

[0Schottyboy0]

can you use a normal double bass drum pedal on the kit???

[Mexifrenchie]

@0Schottyboy0 yeah

[icepop77]

Yes, you actually need a regular bass pedal in order to use the bass trigger.

[vagbou]

Can you choke the cymbals?Side sticking on snare?

[icepop77]

The cymbals that come with the kit cannot be chocked. The snare does have a zone on the rim for rim shots and/or site ticking.

[dustobusto]

Vielen Dank für die Demo.

[leontanko]

hey! i just bought a dm6 kit today. any idea how to connect to an amp? my amp has plugins for guitar/bass jacks but the output hole on the dm6 module is too small(for mp3 earphones etc.) ): any idea how?

[rjsband5]

use an adapter so you plug the small lead end into a big one look them up they are availible very cheaply hope this helps?

[IniestaTorres]

i have on of these kits with surge symbols but can i use my rubber symbols aswell?

[Ghungmin]

can u add extra cymbals?

[icepop77]

No, you cannot add cymbals. The module only allows input for up to 3 cymbals.

[pitineo]

Alesis focus exclusively on german customers; otherwise they would have done this in English. The support of Alesis products suck too ! Go Roland guys, it's expensive but it's best bang for your buck

[encisoification]

i dont have money!! arrrg!

[scooter21122112]

damn wish someone would do an english version of this!

[jorginarocks]

@scooter21122112 lernst du deutch besser oder??

[scooterss2112]

@jorginarocks I have no need to learn German.

[jorginarocks]

@scooter21122112 lernst du deutsch besser oder??? kuh

[cgvur]

@scooter21122112

[dailycondiments]

@scooter21122112 German its just english with van and shlousand before and after every word.... Van rimshot shlousan

[insideoutbr]

@dailycondiments hahahahahahahaha

[itsmark123]

@dailycondiments I hope that was a joke. If so teehee. If not... shame.

[Colanzio]

@scooter21122112 same its too bad

[jbudd]

I just ordered this kit, I am scared cause my wife will findout soon, oh well...they are out of stock at the place i ordered it from and its christmas eve morning..... so I prolly wont get it ill next year sometime but fuk it.......

[pitineo]

so did you get it ? are you still with your wife ?

[jbudd]

nah i went with the yamaha dtxplorer ..very happy with it, and yes I am still withmy wife hahaha

[speedRickspeed]

what is the best amplifier to use with this kit?

[jewis101]

i thinkin of gettin this kit.

shame this guy cant play lol. at 6:05 try a metranome.. :/

[KRZRK1244]

Sie haben ein Schlagzeug speaciale müssen Kopfhörer?

[MexicanKittenFilms]

is this kit better than the dm5 pro

[thasuperdutchman]

could you please tell me if the pads make alot of noise? ... im planning to buy one but i dont understand german very well

[ludodalla]

i received my dm6 a few days ago and it's realy easy to play on it, the pads do not make a lot of noise, i'm living in a flat and it's one of the reasons why i choose an electronic drumset, i'm playing without carpet under the drum so the kick make a bit of noise but not a lot, it is very reasonable! i think it's a good choice, i was searching for a drumset to record songs (i'm also playing guitar and bass) and i find it a good way to start composing completes songs.

[thasuperdutchman]

@ludodalla thanks!

[Yamizzolo]

@ludodalla

hi guy...are the cymbal pads dual-zone? or you can play them only in a way?

[ludodalla]

Hi! Nope... The cymbals have only one chockable zone, but you can play two differents sounds (ride and bell) on the ride cymbal by playing on it more (bell) or less (ride) stronger.

[E1emntSk8er2]

The snare drum is dual zone, rim shot and middle of the pad. All of the toms are single zone, and all of the pads including bass and cymbals are velocity censored.

[speedRickspeed]

do you play with an ampilifier? so yes; wich one is the best?

[ludodalla]

nope i'm playing using my hifi soundsystem (i have good one so the sound is really nice :D!), my guitar amplifier or a headset. Sorry but i have no idea of which amplifier is the best for a drumset!

[speedRickspeed]

thanks though

[SpdDemon69]

na the pads are nice, but i put a roland pdx-8 for the snare

[speedRickspeed]

somewhere he says: mesh heads. so I don't think very much nois ;P

[gamekidillon12]

They're rubber, but they are pretty quite.

[ludodalla]

Thanks for the vid, I bought this drum set (I am actually waiting for the reception!) and i was searching for some infos, photos and vids but there is not a lot about it! i just can't wait to receive it, it seems really nice to play on it! the only thing i miss is an english translation 'cause I'm french and i do not speak deutch :$ ... thank you one more time!

[Th3Marko]

ich bin anfänger..und ich kaufe diese dm6 kit bald :)
