Cool! Glad I could help! Greetings from the UK!

hi! great sound man! is that a td9kx? a would like to buy one! I have 1 question, does the module support a new snare pad? like the 12'' roland PD 125BK if I like?

[MisterMR44]

@fanculoate Thanks for your positive comments! I would highly recommend a TD-9KX. Regarding the PD125BK... yes, you can use this with the TD-9KX. Please note though, that while the TD-9 module supports 'rimshots' and 'sidesticking' with this pad, it does not support 'positional sensing'. That facility is module-specific and only works on the current TD-12 and 20.

You can only import WAV files into the module (using USB memory to transfer). The TD-9 isn't mp3 compatible so you would need to convert the file format to WAV or use an external mp3 player through the TD-9 stereo audio input.

The music you are hearing is a drumless sequence. It's not possible to mute drums on a full mp3 track using the TD-9.

As always with your videos: great pleasure and fun to watch! And inspirational, too!

It's FAR beyond my capabilities as a drumming beginner but I need those audio-visual targets on the horizon for my motivation. :-)

I can already play to Genesis's "Afterglow" (but that's easy) and partly to Earth, Wind & Fire's "That's the way of the world" -- great fun! :-) Lovin' it!

Today in the evening is my 2nd drum lesson! I'm eager to learn more! Maybe sometime I'll play as good as you! ;-)

Take care! :-)

Hey, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed my video and that you're enjoying your drumming!

[joebriery]

Nice work!! I really enjoyed watching your video, your drumming is phenominal. I've been practicing more odd time signatures, 5/4 and 7/4 have been my main focus, and i've been practicing alot more on R&B, Funk, and Jazz, however, after watching you play.......I think I need more practice. *lol*
