Hi everyone! =)
Long time no see!
I'm starting to get REALLY frustrated by the fact that I can't practice anymore. I live in an apartment now, so my babies are stacked up in the closet. Cry.
Anyway, I've been thinking about making my own little e-kit. I've been hating e-drums up until recently when I played the Korg Wavedrum for the first time. It just felt awesome, had a great sensitivity and greats sounds. I bought it two days later =)
I started to think - what if I use the wavedrum as a snare, then get a hi-hat and bassdrum going? I don't care about toms etc at the moment, I just want the three basics - snare, bass, hi-hat.
I know I could just buy a e-kit, and replace the snare with my Wavedrum, but that causes a problem - I'm on a budget! And I mean a tight one! And the cheap stuff often comes with bad hi-hats, things that don't respond properly. I just need a bass and a hi-hat that works, not a ton of bad-sounding toms / cymbals...
What would you recommend to do? Buy the cheapest e-kit available and trigger it with my Mac for better sounds? Buy triggers? Anyone?
I've never stepped into the world of (hell of?) e-drums before, but I'm willing to do anything now to be able to play some beats.
Help a brother!
Thanks! =)
