Alesis Command mesh head set. Great for lower end, they sound decent and take a beating!

I find recording with VST's to be the easy part, and the hard part is getting the real time monitoring to feel right. No matter how low I get the latency (under 2ms round trip), I can still "feel" the latency, especially during fast play. I've worked around this by sending both the audio out from my TD27 along with midi using USB "vendor" mode, and monitor the drum module sound output only (my guitar tracks and the click track still plays back, so I record along to them). This way I get the midi and audio tracks recorded separately, and the playing experience feels like I'm only working with the module - meaning 0 latency. There's been a couple times were I actually just ended up using the raw audio tracks instead of using the midi with vst, as some of the Roland kits sound pretty darn good after you tweak them a bit. I like this option for "non-acoustic" kits, where I may not want to end up using a VST after all.

I've been playing the a Roland TD25 KV. it's about 7 years old now but still a great kit and a huge upgrade from my old kit which was a Yamaha DTXPress IV.

65 Drums really helped me on making drum covers! I recorded my drum covers with irig and it sounded really good! Thank you 65 Drums!

I've been using an Alesis DM10X kit forever now. It's about 5 years old but still kinda high end. It seems pretty middle of the road and does the job! But you hit the nail on the head when you said "plastic-like" when describing the sound they give. Thank you so much for all this info, I've been looking for advice/information like this to get a better sound and you made it easy to understand!!

Justin you are doing a fantastic job on your YouTube channel it is absolutely fantastic I watch it all the time

I use Roland TD-12 and a TDW-20 module triggering Superior Drummer 3; Addictive Drums 2; Steven Slate Drums 5; Native Instruments Abbey Road 60s and Modern Drummer software etc instantiated in Logic Pro X. I’ve been recording this way since 2008 on original recording projects and covers Thanks for sharing your knowledge- it certainly will help those who are new to edrumming and recording.

Just got the new vad503 with td27 and will be jumping into the drum recording world, thanks for the great info

I use a 5-Pin MIDI Cable from my Alesis e-kit to my Steinberg UR44 Interface, then from that the USB to PC. My UR44 doesn't have a USB MIDI In, so... plus, I'm using a long Cable between the e-kit & Interface. 👍

I just bought a Roland Vad306 last week. I plan on using Steven Slate drums

[oneminutetomidnight]

Dude! I've got that same stacked drum kit drink holder in my studio too!

[wendellpowell]

I love superior drummer 3 so much I actually use it love as well with my Alesia DM10 MKII Pro. Works better than the drug’s module

[seanreed]

Love your advice, it really helps alot

I have always had acoustic kits. I can't really afford soundproof walls, a set of mics and all those things to record my drums but I can afford a decent yamaha kit and that's what I'm going for some time this year (hopefully) I want to record demos for my band and do something better than what I do now. thank you for this video. I'm hoping to get my life easier and not worry about what hour of the day I practice my drums

[gavinremedios]

Hey thanks for the great info, I play 2 e kits, an old DT Xpress Yamaha, Roland td 50k, Mapex acoustic 6 piece Mars pro.

We just got Alesis Nitro drums and will use them to control AIR Strike 2.

[bradrich]

Alesis DDrum. Not the best, but they take a beating. Thanks for the recording info. I have alot to learn!

[milesoflead]

Got my TD1-DMK last year and use it with EZDrummer in Studio One. Not a great module, it's the most basic one Roland make, but it's amazing with Ezdrummer and the module has the old 808 patch.

I’m using an Alesis D4 drum brain with a hodgepodge of drum pads, Scarlett Sapphire 18i8o interface, Mac and Superior Dummer2
