Hi loopers,
always I am reading these things like. Are you playing a "real" drum or things like that. I guess by now probably half or more of the drums played here are edrums.
And really what is so wrong about that.
It does not play by itself. All drums played on the edrum can be transported to the accoustic set. Its not that you are not playing it.
I can understand every drummer that loves his accoustic set.
My loved Sonor Force 3000 was stolen 2001. I still remember working 3 months in a factory after I finished school to buy it.That was about 1988.
After it was stolen I quit making music completely for more than 10 years.
No edrum can really replace an accoustic set.
But they are getting better.
I must say I am really happy with that.
I dont like the onboard sounds. It can never have the dynamic you have on a accoustic drum.
But honestly who is able to transport that in a MP 3 recording.
If you have 25 sqm room and the drum miced up correctly you still need a lot of knowledge.
I for myself have a 10 sqm washing room in the cellar of an apartment house.
There never is a chance for me to do anything there before 9 or 10 o'clock in the evening.
Impossible with an accoustic set.
Now i have about 30 GB of real recorded original drumsounds on the cheap edrum which I can play with a latency of about 2 ms and can choose if I want to play a Sonor, Tama, Ludwig or DW set and for me it almost feels real. Disadvantages: t I need about 15-20 minutes to set everything up, my hihat pedal is shit(bassdrum pedal any can be used), I have no ride bell on my cheap 2 zone crash pad, rebounce is a little different.
I would never use it live , anyhow I doubt I will ever play a live gig again, but to be honest even there, what will the common mixer of the small clubs or youth centres that people like me ever played in make of your drumsound. If your unlucky they even tape your toms up.
Drums gated and compressed so that anyhow nobody will here the details if your not lucky to play in a pub or only the bassdrum is miced.
For drummers complaining about the edrum I have a lot of understanding, but for guitarists and bassists complaining about anybody playing an edrum I have no understanding at all.
How many of you use all these guitar rig stuff, amplitube and stuff. So what you say, you still using your guitar.....same for us drummers we still play the drums.....
So long, will be nice to read what people think about that,.....
if not its also okay....:|
