Waiting

January 11th, 2011

Well it is going to take a month before I can set up all the gear in our new house, so I have been doing a bit of research on how everything is going to be set up. My first worries are:

How to record the V-drums
At first I was worried that I might be restricted to using the stereo outs (L, R) from the TD-9 brain, and would have no control over the final mix. After reading some forums, I found this is not an issue.

You attach a midi cable from the TD-9 to the computer, and that records only the midi signals of your playing to a sequencer software on the computer. You attach another midi cable from the computer to the TD-9, and then an audio cable from the stereo outs to the computer. Now you can playback the midi signals you recorded onto the computer, back to the TD-9, and record them through the audio outs.

Drums are here!

August 16th, 2010

Picked up the Roland TD-9 Drums today and got to play a bit after Anna and Mommy. It is a TD-9k kit (mesh snare, rubber toms) which was a great decision (mesh toms were a thousand more dollars = really, buy the TD-9 brain, and upgrade the toms after. People on the V-Drums forums say this, and they are right.)

Other than that, a DW 5000 Accelerator (DW5000ad3) Single Bass drum pedal which is the most amazing pedal I have ever played, and two pairs of nice sticks. Vic firth 7a’s (for Anna) and 5a’s (for me). She loves drumming with the sticks and her meter is great (even on the Nar). Drum Drum Drum! now if Dad can catch up!
