Product Information

The sounds (drums / cymbals / percussion etc) the drum module can play. The sounds are basically mini recordings (samples) that are triggered when you hit a drum. Attach the bass drum to the bass drum pedal by carefully moving it into position behind the pedal. Set up the snare stand and position in between the two pedals. Mount the toms, set up the cymbal stands and add the cymbals. This is another setting inside the drum module. Your drum module interprets your drum hits based on the sensitivity settings. If you turn up the sensitivity, your soft hits will register as harder hits. Drum sets are very popular toys for young children and a new edition by VTech has added an extra-cute flair to the classic drum set via their “Zoo Jamz Stompin’ Fun Drums” elephant-shaped new release. How to Play the Zoo Jamz Stompin’ Fun Drums

If you are new to the world of e-drum kits, the details in the technical specifications can be a bit confusing. For example, the meaning of terms like “trigger zones” might not be immediately obvious. And it doesn’t help that one manufacturer might call a feature by one name and the next manufacturer calls it by a different name! When the sound triggered is very loud when hit in the centre of the drum pad, versus a hit with the same force at the edge being very quiet. The time from hitting the drum, to the time the sound is heard. Latency is measured in milliseconds. There is always a tiny amount of delay – due to the time it takes sound to travel from its source to the listener’s ears. With electronics, there’s the time it takes the electrical signal to travel down the wire, be processed, and then the resulting sound to reach the ears. The human brain is able to compensate for some latency, and most electronic drum kits fall within that acceptable range. Latency becomes more of a problem if you are layering up multiple processes, for example using your e-kit to trigger external samples or recording to a computer. If recording yourself is a priority, then you will need to investigate latency and ways to mitigate it. The small sensor disc which senses when a drum or cymbal pad is hit and converts it to an electrical signal. This signal is sent to the module and triggers the sound. A collection of samples for one instrument. The properties of the sound will change depending how the pad is hit. This is intended to be more realistic and can also be used to create various effects.Your exact setup is going to depend on the type of electronic drum kit that you have got. Obviously, a very small and compact drum set is going to be very differently arranged than one where the electronic drums are more like the sizes of an acoustic drum kit (as shown in the video). In this article we’re going to talk about methods for practice which are silent or near-silent, help develop your drumming skills, and require little or no equipment.

Perhaps the most difficult part of starting to look for an electronic drum kit is knowing what you actually need from your e-kit. What do you want it to be able to do? All the features listed in the specifications might all sound very nice, but do you really need them? Or will a cheaper drum kit with fewer features do the job you want it to do? Understanding the specs Triggering is when the piezo senses a hit, it sends an electrical pulse to the module letting it know how hard you hit.

Success!

Cymbals should be above the kit so that to play them you move your arms upwards, not forwards. Just like the idea you applied to the position of the toms, you shouldn’t need to lean or lose your balance on the drum stool when you play the cymbals. Further advice

Beatboxing is the act of making percussive sounds with your mouth. You don’t need to be a vocal gymnast to try beatboxing, just remember one of our favourite sayings: “ If You Can Say It, You Can Play It“. Verbalising rhythm is a very important part of internalising rhythm. Hire a drum studio Adjust the snare stand to the correct height. Some drummers tilt their snare drums whilst other drummers prefer the surface of the snare drum to be parallel to the floor- this is something to experiment with. In terms of snare height, keep the rim of the drum about the width of your fist higher than your thighs. This means when you hit rim shots on the snare you will not hit your legs too! If the snare drum is too high it can cause your elbows to be raised uncomfortably, leading to tension, which in turn leads to poor drumming technique. Investing in a drum kit is a step to take when you have played the drums for a while and you’re confident that you are going to continue in the long term.

How to assemble a drum set in an easy ergonomic way

Every zone equals a sound that can be assigned to the pad. So one zone is one sound. Dual zone means there can be 2 separate sounds. 3 zones (or triple zone) means 3 sounds can be triggered from different areas of the pad. Sit on your drum stool. Position your feet flat on the floor, shoulder’s width apart, and an equal distance away from your body. This sitting posture should be solid and comfortable. The other studio locations (limited slots for new starters) Please note: Drum lessons are running at the following studios, but we don’t have much availability to take on new students at the moment. One recording of one sound (as opposed to Multi-Layered Samples). A one-shot sample is a basic sound which doesn’t change in sonic qualities depending how a pad is hit, apart from the velocity.
