TSO Wizards in Winter Contest - Drums (Rob Moore)

My entry for the Drums part of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra contest.

The drums are electronic with all Pintech Concertcast pads, AD kick tower, Yamaha DTXpress module, and Sabian cymbals. Output is via a set of speakers connected to the module, then recorded with the mic on my camcorder. The cymbals are acoustic with foam dampening pads on them to bring the volume down.

Do you have real cymbals on a electronic kit?

[robdidlyob]

Yup.. the DTXpress cymbal sounds aren't very good, but the acoustic cymbals were way too loud compared to the electronic drums. I had to use rubber pads on the cymbals so they wouldn't overpower the little speakers I was using for the drums.

79 ratings and still only 1 star.. why even bother if you're only going to give me one star? there's no way I'm going to win. lol

I appreciate all the comments. I know the sound quality could have been a lot better but I had to use what I had, soo... Oh well, best of luck to everyone who entered :)

Wheres the blast beats?

[mickeydougal]

I used the DTXpress in my video as well. The way I got decent audio was by recording the drums separately from the music track. I then mixed the drums with the TSO mp3 in my editing software and the result is not too bad.

Nice job. I especially like the festive lighting. Check out my vid if you get a chance.

NICE ENTRY - and don't worry about the view count and ratings so much. When Atlantic moved the end date for the contest - they also changed the judging rules. Judging will be done by JUDGES - not YouTube

Nice! You anticipate the beat in a few places...but they are the right places. Good solid playing

[scottgilesmusic]

Good! And you antisipate (sp?) the beat here and there in just the right places. Good, solid playing.

[Genmills]

too bad not everyone judges based on technical acuity and skill... i think you did a good job.
