Roland TD-6 and Hart Dynamis E cymbal II

Here's a quick run through of the differences between the Alesis DM5 and the Roland TD-6 plus a little on the Hart Dynamics E-cymbal II.
Ya I know I didn't answer the question of which I would buy if I were just starting out. I was going to say that I will reserve judgement until I have more time with the Roland.

What sound is your snare drum now? I also have the TD-6v module but I can't find a good snare sound but yours sound pretty good actually!

And, can you tell me if the hart dynamics 2 cymbal is quiet? I read a lot of different comments that it is/isn't, so please let me know!

@0Nolan I'll have to get back to you on the snare but the hart cymbal is louder than a roland or the like. It's about as loud as hitting a dinner plate.

@wildcat183

The snare is number 163 meduim2S

@wildcat183 Okay thanks! And this was the plastic one? What about he metal one with the rubber on it? Do you know how loud that is?

Thanks

@0Nolan

Ya mine is plastic. Not sure how loud the metal one is with the rubber pad.

I have a yamaha electronic set, but I've been looking into making an investment into mesh pads. I was thinking roland, but I would need to earn a bit more dough for that. I discovered Hart Dynamics and I was seriously considering them. But now I see you can mix and match electronic sets. You think I could find a mesh snare (ebay of course) and hook it up to my yamaha? Thanks for the video btw. Happy drumming!

I'm not that familiar with Yamaha gear but you should be able to mix pads. Check out vdrum forum. There are some people that run Yamaha gear and I believe some have mixed in other pads.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

I record from the DM5 into my mixing board then to the audio input on the computer. If you don't need the mic then you can use a 1/4 to 1/8 cable. 1/4 plug into the DM5 main out and the 1/8" plug into the mic/audio input on the computer.
