Clavia ddrum

On the mesh head on the Roland it's easy to do a buzz roll, is that possible on the ddrum?

Maybe the ddrum you tested was not configured right, but believe my ddrum don't only have amazing sound but also a Fantastic triggering result, listen those .mp3 if you have a doubt

Hmmm. The roland sounds are not pro sounds by any manner of means. You can get cool sounds with them, but the majority of live recorded electro sounds are done by putting triggers on an acoustic drumkit and then running them to a computer. You get natural feel, the exact sounds you want, and no crappy expensive electronic kit you have to play. The roland sounds have always sounded, to me, at least, like roland sounds. They really aren't anything special at all and are massively overpriced for what they are. If you can avoid it, dont buy a roland. You'll regret it later.

Let me just say this. I don't use electronic drums to play out live. I do trigger the bass drums in some situations, and the TD20 works as well if not better than the ddrum.

I gave my ddrum4 to my bro, and i had the regular cast pads and they were very dynamic----more so than the Roland set-up. But the roland TD20 for me is a more complete kit. If you can get a cheap ddrum4, it would work. I'm not saying it's a bad kit at all. But it was my favorite before the TD20 came out.

I tried the mesh heads on my kit and it was real bad for me. The bass drum was especially boingy in feel. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

HAHAHa, yeah, that's the best way to describe the bass drum feel with a mesh head!! boingy...

I was looking for a word to describe it!

I find when I do use the vDrum setup I have to adjust my bass drum technique from the acoustic kit because the feel IS different, even with adjusting the sensitivity and response time etc on the TD-8 vDrum module...

Apparently I can use regular drum heads instead of mesh heads, but I haven't tried that. I'm sure that would make a difference on the feel especially for the bass drum aspect of things!
