Do you have a set now? I use a yamaha and an alesis set combined into like 15 pieces. It's cool to use more than one module to have a larger variety on tap. Most of the analog drum kit sounds don't mix very well directly, but they mix pretty well with other non drum kits or like birch and maple isn't too bad. I run them into a vox modeler combo with one through the aux input :ROFLMAO: The amp adds a huge variety though with the different effects and sims.

I don't. I've been using my Arturia SparkLE for years as a controller; or programming MicroTonic vst (https://soniccharge.com/microtonic - had for many years). I'm not a drummer by any stretch of the imagination, but at this price maybe this set will help?

Microtonic's Patternarium has some inspiring patterns and sounds that I use as a starting point too: https://soniccharge.com/patternarium

If it sees a lot of use, I may consider another module / module upgrade. I watched a few videos and it sounds good IMO; I also have a Simmons drum VST - the sound of the '80s, and some kits in Ableton and use this kit to play them.

Living in a small beach house this is about the biggest kit I'd want. Now I just need to make room for it.

I've been using software lately, tbh 🤷‍♀️. Mostly crappy free stuff with small learning curves. Funny that you talk about space, because that setup is taken apart and stuffed inside one of the box springs under my bed at the moment :ROFLMAO:. Have been revamping the basement the last few months or so and am going to try and setup a synth and drum station going hopefully in the near future. Would be interested in hearing your opinion on that set you ordered as far as quality and intuitiveness because my son is after a set and I don't really want to give mine up because it's been crafted for my liking if that makes sense.

have a look at microtonic for drums; it's geared to electronic music, but can do much more with tweaking. Patternarium can be a fun time waster too.

I'll let you know about this kit, though I don't have anything to compare it to. one reviewer complained about the snare mount always loosening, but that's about it; it's not a pro kit, it's entry level to intermediate at most.

I have a space, but need to find a place for my JP-2C rack rig; and once my Korg Grandstage X gets delivered not sure about space. I'm consolidating "areas" - a guitar corner, a table for modular synths, and a keyboard rig - three sided: left, grandstage x; center: Hammond Skx; right, Roland Fantom EX and Osmose, possibly a third synth; then this drum kit.

I have a lot of gear put away that I want to use less frequently that is the main space issue.
 
Tough to beat Steven Slate drums for ease-of-use, sound quality and value when it comes to acoustic kits IMHO.

For electronic, UVI's BeatBox Anthology 2 is awesome.

If you're interested in "designing" the drums, UVI's Drum Designer's very-good too:

Quality of high-end sample packs & flexibility of a modern, dedicated synth.
Dedicated Kick, Snare, Clap & Cymbal instruments with sequencer.
2,654 Presets (398 Kits, 545 Kicks, 499 Snares, 405 Claps, 674 Cymbals and 133 Sequences)

Oh, and the UVI stuff runs in the free UVI Player plugin so you don't need Falcon.

PolyChrome DSP - McRocklin Suite, 40% off = $79. My favorite guitar plug-in, FWIW. I paid $99 when it was first released. Worth it IMO.

Also a free trial version to try before you buy

:thumbsup:



I built a computer software rig because of this plug-in. Actually building another more portable one now on an old Dell Latitude windows 10 pro tablet pc
