trator Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I-ve just bought a Roland TD-8KV (kit and sound module). The sounds are amazing. I recorded a song in my homestudio and...WOW!!!! I could never expected that. Everything is ready to go (even the "pan"). All we have to do is adjust de volumes of each peace and...just rec-play. Am I dreaming? Some said to me several artists are using virtual drums on their records and the public let be fooled by the realistics sounds. Is it true? What do you all think about that. I´m really shocked.

Oiled Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 Many artists do use electronic drums, and yes many of them go undetected. You don't even need a kit, just synths and modules to sequence great drum parts these days. Sad to say, but drummers are a dying breed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infusion Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 Sad to say, but drummers are a dying breed. I disagree. The machine will never replace the real drummer. It's impossible. Live drummers have a feel and connection that just can't be duplicated. I'm a Fusion and Acid Jazz keyboard player. Try playing that to a machine...................I wouldn't even want to try !!!!

RABid Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 I have been looking at the Roland TD8 module and wondering how it compares to the TD10 in sound quality. My primary desire is to at least hook a VDrum snare to it. The rest of the needed parts can be swapped from my SP-11 kit. As far as drummers being a dying breed? As a drummer turned keyboardists I am still a drummer at heart. Most keyboardists or computer musicians don't have a clue about timing and feel. After a few years of playing drums you will either start getting comments about how good your "feel" is or you wonder why your are not getting jobs with better bands. Now that I think about it, drummers spend years with polyrhythms, mixing parts from different frequency ranges, working with percussionists to create new rhythmic blends. It is no wonder that good drummers make the best computer musicians. Robert This post edited for speling. My Sweetwater Gear Exchange Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertAs a drummer turned keyboardist/programmer I have to whole heartedly agree with the above. When I went electronic my first purchase was a drum machine, but it was too mechanical, and just didn't have that live vibe. Next I purchased a DK-10. That was better, it still didn't really do it for me. Finally, got a set of v-drums, and my quest was complete. Live drummers can't be replaced in the same way that live keyboardist's can't be replaced. Robert: re the TD-10 vs. TD-8. I would think the TD-8 would be more than enough for you needs -- esp. if all you intend to do is to use it for a snare, as the snare on the TD-8 also has positioning sensing on the input. But if you really enjoying playing, bet you anything that you'll eventually end up expanding beyond a snare! -bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassdrummer Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I got a Roland V-Custom kit this past summer with the Roland PM-3 monitor system and the TD-8 module. It blew me away too -- I love it! bassdrummer "All the world's indeed a stage, and we are merely players..." --Rush, "Limelight" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
