![]() ![]() I personally do not like the standard Vic Firth isolation headphones as they are too flat lined for music and e drums IMO. Also, you will prolly need some headphones, so I recommend AKG or Sennheiser. For the bass drum pedals i would get an entry level set of PDP double pedals as the KD-10 and Roland rack (their racks are manufactured by PDP) can accommodate them and it is a useful skill. For the stool I recommend Gibraltar, Mapex, or Tama. Stay away from heavy sticks like the 2b or 3a. Always examine your sticks before buying, if anyone makes a fuss tell them it's for mesh heads. Nylon is best because it is smoother and doesn't run the risk of splintering and ruining a mesh head. Yes, you will need drum sticks, a throne and a bass drum pedal.įor sticks I recommend the Vic Firth Dave Wekl nylon tip, or standard Vic Firth 5a nylon tip. This meathod kind of takes away from having an e drum brain tho IMO Also, another way to bypass long load times is to use the same sample in the next kit you're switching too as it won't have to load twice. Easily one of Roland's bests offerings.Įdit 2: Alesis Strike module does have loading times, however, with the new version 4 update sounds apparently load a lot faster. Also with Roland you get the trusted quality and professional level equipment (Yamaha too, but not Alesis). I will be getting the 17 module later this year hopefully and cannot wait. The new PDX-12 is fantastic, feels great and is very well built. The new KD-10 is definitely a step up from the previous kd-9. The 3 zone ride included is great too, but the bell takes some sensitivity adjustment. ![]() For example, you could trigger the edge of a Tom pad to sound like an FX cymbal like a Zil Bell. You have complete independence when triggering rims or edges. The cymbals are the best I've ever personally heard from a module under 1500 and IMO are better than many that are higher priced. You are finally able to import your own samples and layer them as well. The technology is derived from the much praised, flagship TD-50 module and even sounds better than the 25 which costs almost twice as much. ![]() Roland TD-17KVX which is my favorite of this choice stands clear above the others imo. The module sounds out of the box are weak, but you can layer them and they are sampled from real Yamaha kits. Yamaha had really high quality pads and their cymbals are great. Yamaha don't know too much about this one. The edge trigger of the cymbals and the rim triggers of the pad may not work with this combination tho. The best option for the Strike is to buy the module (only website I've found is Drum-Tec that sells it alone with a warranty) and pair it with roland pads. They deserves no ones business IMO (end rant). This is atrocious behavior because they marketed this as a professional kit and could've put someone's job on the line. But worst of all is that when Alesis first released this kit they did so with the knowledge that the hi hat was not fully functional. There are whole Facebook groups dedicated to strike repair. They have an actually design flaw in the plate that holds the piezo (sensor) which will degrade and break from continuous use. Alesis Strike module is great, but the pads are terrible. ![]()
