Digital Drum
Advice on getting a digital drum kit?
I really want to give drumming a go but cant get a proper kit as next year il be in a flat with no sound restriction. so i want to get a digital kit but don't have a clue about them. so does anyone have any suggestions as to what to get for a complete beginner with not too much space either
any suggestions would be great thanks
It all depends on how much you'v got to spend, and usually the more you spend, the beeter you get when it comes to electric kits.
There's two areas to consider, the physical capabilities and properties of the drum pads themselves, and the capabilities and quality of sound you can get out of the drum module..or, computer thingy. lol
With the drum pads, you can get really basic ones where you hit them and it makes the same noise every time, you can have touch sensitive ones which give a louder sound if you hit hard and softer one when you hit it light, then realistic ones that have a stretched, rebounding skin on them, you can hit the rims of the drums and get that clicking sound, and you get different sounds out of the cymbals depending on where and how you hit them, you can also grab them and 'choke' the cymbal, to cut the sound off abruptly.
Each kind will get more expensive depending on how advanced its capabilities are.
With the computer that runs the whole thing, the module, there's any number of bells and whistles you can have, and even the most basic ones will do the trick, its mainly just about adjusting the drum sounds and volumes and changing to different kits and stuff.
If you get one with a midi in/out input, then you'll be able to connect synthesizer wracks and drum software to it, and play limitless numbers of drum sounds on the same kit.
Basically, if you find a cheap kit that has decent pads and a midi in/out plug, then it doesn't matter how flash the sounds are on it cause you can always trigger better sounds with computer software.
If you're just after something really basic though that you can learn on, a begginer style kit will probably be around 1 to 2 grand, yamaha or roland are good brands but just try it before you buy it and if you like what yuo hear, then great =]
