anyone can play a standard set .. if they practice.

anyone can play zen.. if they practice.

they both take time to develop enough skill for live performance. it's not magic .. you DO need a sense of rhythm though for ANY instrument.

like Mick Fleetwood says... there are things you can do with zen and ten fingers that's just not possible with two sticks. period.

in the end if it sounds good it IS good.

no limits.

The point is, it's fun to play.

Sure, there are things you can play on a drumset and they'd be easier to be played on a zendrum. However, therefore you also can play harder stuff on a zendrum which is eventually alike hard...but impossible to be played on a drumset. Or do you accuse a pianist to be cheating claiming he's playing a harp with a keyboard which in fact also makes playing music written for harp easier? Of course not because the pianist propably won't play music meant to be played on a harp, but a on a piano.

Billy Cobham respects it. Repeat Billy Cobham.

It should be used for triggering cat samples and nothing else.

@kueven Youtubers make me laugh...you obviously know what he's talking about...so what he used a wrong word...chill out bro

@soulriver888, there is no such thing as "that weird midi sound." Midi contains no audio whatsoever.  It is only control data.

You could put all that energy you spend on hauling and setting up your kit into practicing the Zendrum.

i want one!!

i say, you who do not respect what the zendrum does. tell you what, go to the zendrum site, look at the list of artists, then try to make some claim about them "cheating" or "faking" being drummers.

if they're "cheating", drummers with their pedigree have the right to cheat however they want. they've earned the right to expand their art.

my other opinion = i suspect a lot of the people here that criticize aren't drummers and your right to judge the art and talent of drumming is less earned.
