[juliojatel]

En cristiano, se dice simplemente "impresionante"

[gorizius]

man great drumming :) what u meant for expanded set? can u add extra sounds with td9kx? i'm gonna buy it but i'm still not sure.

[MisterMR44]

'Expanded' meaning that you can add more pads (I have added an additional PD-85 and CY-8 pads). You cannot expand the TD-9 module's sounds.

[gorizius]

oh thanks.. i though u could add recorded extra sounds via usb.. but never mind i have tried it and sounds well enuff... another question.. i have readed something like V-Tour.. is it a new version of TD9 ? more sounds?

[Drummerkid74]

@gorizius No. "V-Tour" is the level of the kit. It is a touring kit. The TD-4 is V-Compact, the TD-12 is V-Stage, and the TD-20 is V-Pro.

[gmbydmit]

Great Solo Man!

Great fluidity of motion, you make it look effortless and really smooth playing

[metalcoredrummer9]

incredible playing man.. nice use of traditional grip.

[chv307]

great playing

[shagriml]

Awesome kit and awesome playing ! I envy you.. I've only got crappy Yamaha DTXPress III and neighbours who limit my playing :( If it'd be possible, I'd be playing drums 24/7. It's just the most noisiest, expensive and difficult hobby. Rehearsal places cost as much as apartments but you can't live there and play in your app. and neighbours are after you, sucks to be a drummer in FInland...

Keep on rockin' dude !

[Kyrsamakkara]

Nyt on pakko vastata että Suomessa on just hyvä olla rumpali. ;)

Nice grooves there, keep it up!

[meusicalentall27]

This kit AND drummer sound AMAZING.

[THEMAN3able]

what kit are you using in this video?? Great drumming by the way!!

[MisterMR44]

Thanks! It's a Roland TD-9KX

[SonorForceDrummer]

@MisterMR44 very expensive but they are worth it amazing kit

[scanking]

Guys Im having trouble uploading....I do the usual ie record a song off the td9 module onto the laptop but when I try to upload the files are 5gigobytes and takes way too long...Any ideas?

[MisterMR44]

There are many factors that can determine why you would end up with large file sizes.... the software you're using, the file formats it generates, the sampling rates you're recording at, etc. Check these parameters in particular.

Hope this helps.

[scanking]

Thanks Mister,

I am just recording using the laptop camera , running sound direct into it from the module..

I think they end up as AVI files also.

[scanking]

Thanks again Martin...I changed the format from Avi file to Wmv file and this brought the file size down considerably..

Thanks again.

[scanking]

Hi Martin ,

I finally managed to upload a vid..check out Roland TD9kx recording....but cant seem to synch audio and vid properly using windows movie maker...Any help appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

[NathanZ0112]

Hey man, great drumming.

I guess my question is kind of like airsoftsteve's.

What do you do to get that quality sound? what kind of wire, what input, if your using any software?

Thanks.

[MisterMR44]

I record the video and audio separately and then synchronise the two in software. The video is recorded using the 'video mode' on an onl FujiFilm digital camera (which generates an *.avi file)... the audio is recorded directly from the TD-9 audio out to an Edirol R-09HR (which creates a *.wav file). I then use Sony Vegas to sync and edit the *.wav and *.avi files and to create the final video.

It's much easier to do than it sounds!!

Hope that helps!

[scanking]

Nice playing.....good stuff.....Ordered my TD9KX this week and cant wait.

[airsoftsteve]

first off: Great drumming, I myself am a guitar player/manager of my band. So I investigate potential investments and stuff like that. I tried recording some simple beats (simple enough for me to play), but did not get very good quality. What is the best way to output the signal to a digital recorder? MIDI? I hope I'm making sense here. :)

[MisterMR44]

Thanks Airsoftsteve! Regarding your questions, I'll need to know more detail (what are you using? How are you using it? etc.) as I'm not entirely sure what points you're referring to. However, I'll try and answer a couple of your queries. The only way to record from a module such as the TD-9 is to use the audio outputs . MIDI doesn't deal with audio... only note event 'information' that a sequencer can record and play back using the sounds within the module. Hope that helps. Email me if not!

[heavenbjorn]

Hi :) first of all, awesome drummin' man.. i wanna ask a question, how many more extra pads/crashes can be added after the basic set up?

[MisterMR44]

Thanks!

The TD-9KX kit comes with Kick, Snare, 3 Tom Pads, Hi-Hat, Crash and a 3-zone Ride. The TD-9 module has inputs to allow an additional 2 pads (of either drum or 2-zone cymbal type) to be added.

To add any more than that... you will need a Trigger to MIDI converter (such as Roland's TMC-6).

[Sommomk]

very cool solo man,you have a really expressive touch! Do the pads sound loud when you hit'em?I mean, would a simple room wall stop the "patapatapata" that you can hear when it's not amplified?

Bye MK

[MisterMR44]

Thanks!

The mesh pads are not loud at all... but the rubber ones (hi-hat and cymbal pads) are a little noisy. You can hear it from an adjacent room.

[Em4Freak]

make make more very ver y good make more drum soo´s pleas

[SCOUTER91234]

i love your style

[bhoussock]

awesome!

[alexl1001]

Very impressive! And even playing traditional grip. Cool.

Those v-drums sound great.

Nice job! You have great feel and good chops.

[s0nor]

Great play! ;)

[TheRealAlcuin]

You're the man! Really like your videos & your drumming A LOT! Keep on going! I enjoy it all the time! Thanks so much for sharing!!

Take care!

[dudewat212]

EPIC!

[juniperhill1970]

Very slick! But I don´t like any of the snare sounds on the TD-9. . Do you agree? Is there a way to adjust the sound even more or any other trix?

What do you think about it?

Cheers /Hank

[MisterMR44]

I quite like some of the TD-9 snares (even though I only really use two!). There's a company called 'VExpressions' that do alternative drum kits for some of the Roland V-Drum series. The current TD-9 packs are called 'HodgePodge' and 'Toolkit' and are highly recommended. Please note that they don't add alternative samples (that isn't physically possible), but 'reprogram' the existing internal samples. The snares are much improved.

[admiel]

what do u mean by saying 'reprogram' ?

thay useed existent sounds and effects form the td-9 and jast mix it right?

[Liquitoooo]

good job men

[xPULPxVELVETx]

very, very talented drummer thats all i could say, and u could tell he loves what he's doing!

[Rashasha]

Nice playing!!!

[HerlPearl]

Great stuff, man. That looks like a really good thing having a pad on the left. I think I will start playing with that myself :)

Great drumming!

[hampisdrums]

hey very coool MR i like your drumming and your kit is great !!

i can't see your module on your kit ?

see u around in the foruum

[MisterMR44]

Hey, thanks! The module is on the right-hand side of the kit (in between what's effectively the 'Floor Tom' and 'Crash 2'). The owner's manual says set it up on the left next to the Hi-Hat but because I've grouped the pads really close I kept hitting it by accident! I had to move it anyway... there wasn't quite enough space for it and the pad I have left of the snare.

See you round the forum!

[patas77]

It's very nice! i'm Spanien and i don't writting english, but i'm stay very impresionant wtih your facility to play drumms! and wath is the number kit you use? V drums? or modificate the intensive?? and the adicional pad pd-85 waht is this cymbal kit? lisening very very nice! congratulations crack!

[MisterMR44]

Gracias! Le agradezco su comentarios positivos. El kit estoy usando es el Roland TD-9KX V-Drums. Esta es una especificación europea designación. Puede ser conocido por otro nombre en España. He añadido dos más pastillas para el paquete básico. Hice este vídeo para mostrar la capacidad de la batería y cuánto es divertido para jugar! Me alegro que haya disfrutado el show!

[yesmilady]

Hey Mart! Nice work! (Your neighbours must love you...? lol)

[MisterMR44]

Well... not entirely...!! Let's just say we've 'come to an arrangement'...!!

[kalnic1971]

very nice solo. How would you compare this module to the roland TD 10 expanded ?

[MisterMR44]

Thanks!

The TD-10, even if it was unexpanded, is still a much more versatile module than a TD-9. It has much more in-depth COSM based editing, an on-board sequencer, is more expandable, hardware faders, multiple audio outs, positional detection on the snare, etc... the TD-9 is great, but doesn't have any of those features.

[segerduder]

I agree that was very nice.

[theguynextdoorhero]

how did you ad on all those other pads, and cymbals????

cool drumming by the way

[MisterMR44]

Thanks for the positive comments! The kit is a Roland TD-9KX with an additional PD-85 pad (on my left) and an extra CY-8 cymbal pad (on the far right). That's as much as you can expand it (without adding extra modules/triggering interfaces).

[Mangethruxton]

Really nice little solo you did!! :D
