  • This really helped me out. Well done. Thank you.

  • @pitbull103 Glad you enjoyed it and it was helpful. Thanks for watching:)

  • I am making a home studio and I need a drum kit. Like you said, I don't want to spend a fortune on mics. What electronic drum kit would you recommend for around $900ish? I'm thinking the Alesis DM10 but I don't want to make any quick decisions yet.

  • @TheFiveMinuteWarning Alessis DM10 is good and you can also put together a good custom Pintech kit for around that price as well.

  • Electronic drums are good its just i prefer the feel of acoustic drums

  • well done nice video u r 100 percent correct i hav roland definitely the best

  • Rubbish! I have V-drums (older version - but new ones sound as bad). They are not samples, they're mathematical attempts by Roland at simulating real drum sounds and like guitar amp modeling, they FAIL! Even Omar Hakim sounds boring on V-drums. Samples are at least real sounds but volume switching creates artificiality. If you can't hear how sterile and castrated v-drums sound compared with acoustic, then you're in the wrong job. How about painting instead?

  • I prefer acoustic for control/dynamics/sound its hard to recreate the subtleties... but am switching because I can't play or record my acoustic kit where I live.

    Each have their pros and cons, it depends on the individuals circumstances and preferences. Each to his own.

  • I play DDrum 4 with Roland silent mesh pads. Live they sound as good as it gets. No mics, use real cymbals. More control with electronic, no mic spill. Lower stage volume and killer acoustic sound. I prefer them, easier to run into my JBL EON vs a miced kit. Nice review, well done.

  • You can play acoustic drums when the power goes out so during the Apocalypse you can still rock out

  • at walmart.com First-Act-Pro-Digital-3D-Drums­et

    How's this drum? We're cheap and just starting out and this is all we can afford- Is it worth it?

  • I just wanna say, that so called ' drummers ' that use electronic drumkits are fake.

  • People these days. Of course they're real drums :/

  • Dear Cena.

    As an starter drummer, just for the love to it, I cannot express my thanks to your video. Finally a guy with experience and ball to put the things right. You had made my life (in the drumming part) much much easier. I had a drumm teacher for 14 lessons (i did not continue) who was teaching on a Roland TD9 with mesh and he has saying all the time that real drums are only acoustic drums. What a moron!

    Thank you Cena.
