This CHEAP Acoustic Design Electronic Drum Kit is EPIC

When I first bought the cheapest electronic drum kit that has the looks and wooden shells of an acoustic, I didn’t think it was that great. I was wrong!

“Press the ON button and what that does is turn it on” <- this advice was really helpful I’ll bear this in mind the next time i get the opportunity to play an electric kit.

I purchased one of these kits this time a year ago, I did read the manuals as it didn't feel right, just as you described, you are very informative and honest, great guy. Awesome skills to boot!

[ryanschwertman]

Glad to see this kit didn't turn out to be a waste! Great stuff as always!

This video is very helpful as someone considering buying this kit. Thanks a lot! And incredible drum skills my guy!🥁

I have been trying to find a decent e-kit for a reasonable price without it looking like a bunch of rubber saucers attached to a bent flag pole. I came across this kit in my adventure through the internet trying to find good comprehensive reviews from actual people. Not just a random blog where the person just suggests 4 different Roland kits and says good enough.

A lot of the reviews I was finding were all mentioning the exact issues you've seemed to have solved here in real time in your video. With that being said, you've sold me on this kit. Thank you for showing these fixes in real time and taking the time to go so in depth while keeping the video under 10min. You have earned my subscription, and I am happy to leave a like.

As a beginner I feel like this is a really good kit to get, as I am a rather big guy and would prefer the acoustic style over the more compact majority out there on the market.

i have a feeling one day this cahnnel is going to have at least 100 k subs

Yeahh! I am quite suprised, that it even got these settings... So you are done! Very nice!
Yap the things listen to the buid in detector - called piezos, which generate a voltage when bended.
The module is scanning the incomming voltage and tries to detect the peaks that occure when you hit the mesh heads.
Unfortunately there something like xtalk between pads and retriggers because vibrations of the rack, or doubletriggers because after one hit the module detects the second peak of the detected waveform. Therefore the settings xtalk and retrigger cancel.

With the advanced settings you go even deeper into telling the module how the waveform will look like for that pad.
You know, so on Roland modules you got HOLD instead of "peak decay", but acually this module tells you why it has to wait, because its waiting for the detected peak to decay. Woooow!
I think "sensetime" is equal to Rolands SCAN parameter and sets the time how long it will "analyze" the incomming peak.
And kick pad will require other settings than the snare.

Sensitivity and Headroom you have to set like so, that you get a velocity of 127 only if you really smashing the stick into your mesh head and at the same time you got also your low velocities.
It will take some time, but - believe me - its worth it. You get way higher dynamics when setting you triggers right.

The "Trigger" curve ... ok. That will give you even more control about the feeling / response of your hit and the velocity and though the triggered sample. But if you are using a VST like
Toontracks EZDrummer3 its way easier to dial these curves in by using the VST GUI.
It will also be library dependend. So a Gospel library samples by a jazz drummer will react in a different way that a death metal library sampled by a metal drummer.

And really love that possibility to switch between those sounds. Yeah!

Hope that was helpfull for you and the other readers.
Don't hesitate to contact me.

Hey atom, just wanted to say that you are doing very well! So happy you uploaded!!!

[joaomonteiro]

It would be great to have an update video in the future where you show all your settings and how you calibrated your hi hat!!
Love from Portugal 🤘

I like your videos. I haven't sat behind a kit in probably 10 years. I was an "ok-ish to pretty decent beginner" drummer back then, but stopped playing/practicing when I went beck to finish my degree while working full time. Sold a very nice Tama kit (with Zildjian K dark cymbals) to invest in my daughter's growing piano interest. Best investment I ever made as she is a wonderful player and it's still her passion. But I've been itching to play again. This e-kit sounds like a perfect way to get back into it. Here's to continued success and more subs...keep it up.

This editing is incredible XD Love the content!

God bless the YouTube algorithm for putting your channel in my recommended. Absolute gold

[hoptops]

This is a great review I was hesitant to buy this kit because of the hi hat issue I had the 850 kit and sold it because of the high hat problem. I think I’ll get this kit now thanks for the upload

Well after watching this video I bought this kit and 1 year later what do I think? You can't get better bang for your buck. Had 3 replacement cymbals curtseys of the 3 year warranty and Thonman are super brilliant and quick to replace, and the kick drum is possibly now missing the very occasional note and might need a new sensor. That said I play at least a couple of hours every day and it's taking some hits! Other than that? Oh yer I added a TD-27, Roland digital hi-hat, digital snare/ride, a Pearl hi-hat stand and Peral Demon XR double base, and the kits just amazing. Glad I bought it based on this video.

[gaigetownsend]

Amazing review. I'm moving into an apartment soon and wanted an acoustic style electric set. You're an amazing player. Thank you a ton for the info
