Hey guys.
I've committed drum blasphemy.
After several complaints from my better half, neighbors, etc..................I decided to jump to the dark side.
Due to my schedule, I normally can't practice until after 8 o'clock...............and I was making too much noise for the family..............kids had to sleep, wife would be annoyed, and on and on
I didn't want to go completely electronic, because I hate the way E-kits and cymbals "feel".
So, I bought a set of Zildjian Gen16 cymbals along with a set of Pearl E-pro heads and a Yamaha DTX502 module.
Now I can practice at anytime and no one is bothered.
Years ago, I did an acoustic to electronic conversion, but these heads have a much better feel, and are easier to transition back to real heads, than the mesh heads I previously used.
My other kit is still acoustic and set up at church, but this is my new practice kit.
Here are a few pics:
I am looking for a cheap kit to use, instead of my DW's...................it just seems soooo wrong.
