how much did that drum set cost todd im looking to buy a good one price doesnt matter

[ScoopDeville04]

@MrCreatedAccount If price doesn't matter and you want an electronic kit take a look at the Roland Roland TD-20SX V-Pro, it sells for around 7K. This kit is the original V-Drum TD-10 with the TDW-1 expansion.

dude those are sick sticks what kind are they and would you please tell me the size?=Þ

[ScoopDeville04]

I bought a bunch at NAMM many years ago. They are hollowed out nylon (I think) and I'm pretty sure they are unfortunately no longer available. Since they were made from synthetic materials they were always perfectly true and they lasted WAY WAY longer (maybe 10X) than a normal pair of wood sticks. They felt just like wood sticks to me.

Anyway to make that pad sound like a real hi-hat?

Good lesson for newbie.

peace.

[ScoopDeville04]

You'll need to listen to the funk lesson to getting a better idea what ONE sound for the hi-hat sounds like. In this video the sound you hear is what is picked up in the lavalier mic from the PA. The hi-hat sounds are pretty good but IMO still the weakest link in an electronic set.

Hey Todd thanx my daughter loves the drum lessons and she is picking up alot from your sessions. We got her a drum kit for xmas as her uncle is in a band and she wants to be a drummer. She finds it easier to pick things up.

@fmtknr I took drum lessons with a private teacher when I was young. Had a few when I was 5 (learned snare drum rudiments only). Got drum set lessons in high school from a different private teacher. I always learned from other drummer friends I had (some in the HS marching band) and I also learned from Modern Drummer magazine (David Garibaldi's published lessons were particularly interesting). One thing my drum set teacher made me do was transcribe (then play) hit songs.
