Hi all,
I'm new to this Forum and this is my first post!
I just wanted to open a bit of a discussion and find out a bit about others out there who use Electronic kits in live situations . I am in a Function band playing just covers at weddings, parties and clubs etc. I switched to a TD9 from an acoustic kit about 3 years ago and since then I have never looked back. Due to the sheer diversity and range of genre's we perform, in my eyes there is no comparison.
I gig with the TD-9 but also own a TD-12 which i leave set up at home. We play through a powered system; Four Mackie Active 3 way speakers (with dual 15's) and four Mackie active 18 inch subs. It gives a right good thump for what we need. So sounds wise I have changed all the settings beyond recognition, including the EQ and reverb. I use a classic "rock" sound for the majority of our set and I do believe it sounds as good as the real thing when set up and EQ'd correctly.
Does anyone else use Roland V-Drums live and what set up do you use?
Thanks guys I would be really interested to know! Not many bands in my area use electronic kits and I am often seen as a bit odd for doing so. I often get called a "cheat" which I have never really understood!?
Cheers
Tom
