Carmine Strollo Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hello all...I'm not new to Klipsch since I used to use full systems as a professional musician for over 40 years. But I am now a new Klipsch owner since I just purchased a full main system consisting of a pair of 3002 tops and a pair of 480 subs. The new singer in my band had never heard a Klipsch setup before...needless to say, it blew him into the next room. If I ever need advice, I'm hoping to meet fellow Klipsch comrades here. And if ya ever wanna know anything about the music business, the graphic arts business, or the film and video production business, feel free to call on me.

Carmine Strollo Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks...I am a new electronic drummer and want to build great sounding kits for the system. I have been an acoustic drummer for over 50 years so now, without using mics, I'm hoping this will be easier to deal with as far as getting a good sound fast. Any suggestions on how to get get that big thump the best way out of this system...frequencies to boost/ crossover settings? to get the most air moving I guess and have it pound you just below the neckline in the chest...

Mike Hunt Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Just read your post. I am breaking into e-drums too. I'm a do-it-yourselfer and plan to build my own kit using modified acoustic drums with aftermarket triggers. I simply cannot get used to playing on 8"-10" pads as fake drums. If I go with Roland V series drums (acoustic/electronic) drums, I'll end up selling my children to get the cash. (dow wanna do that). Do you have any experience with ddrum triggers, drumdial, or any others? I plan to cut my shells 1" below the top-head hardware, glue white ribbon around the bottom edge (my kit is black), use mesh heads with triggers and e-cymbals for quiet playing, keep all my hardware, and tie it all into a Roland TD-10 brain. I still get to use my Iron Cobra double pedal, cymbals (w/MICS), when I play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmine Strollo Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've only used the Rolands and the Silicon Yamahas. I have a friend though that made his own electronic kit with triggers and those remo practice pads. He said it was just basically installing a peizo and was pretty easy. I think the issue you'll run into though is the sensitivity and the overal interval spacing in the pad for dynamics. I've been buying used pads now and you can get some pretty darn cheap at times...I look at pawn shops, craigslist, and I even have a guy who buys out storage lockers that sold me a set of 4 rubber pads (PD8s) 4 cables and 4 mounts, all for 100.00. So the deals are there to be had if your patient. I don't pay over 50.00 to 60.00 a pad for a PD85 Roland My buddy also likes the Pintech pads with the real heads, but he said they can get pricey... I just bought a complete set of Roland TD-6 complete for 375.00 for one of my students...mesh pad and all... If you're looking for something specific just let me know...trading works wonders as well...that's how I got my Hihat controller and spare trigger.
