First... thank you for the taking the time to make this video...I run a fairly large channel and know the amount of time these take to make so I really appreciate it. I was really interested in getting one of these and your video was very precise in showing the "how to" .... the part I was most confused about. I have an acoustic set converted to E with an alesis strike pro module and an alesis studio dm 10 module ran through the same yamaha mixer you showed in the video...so that was awesome to see. I went to order it after watching this and I guess the PRO kit is on backorder til August...so big bummer there. I did see a "concert" version but you have to buy everything extra including a 1500 watt amp at an additional cost of 600..woosh!! ..Ill wait for the pro to be back in stock lol. I saved your video for future reference when I actually get it in. But thank you again for making the video and going into detail on the install.Very much appreciated sir.

I use a $50 buttkicker just screwed under the wooder plate of my throne and an old subwoofer amp. It's not that fancy but works fine. The amp has a LPF available but since a use different outputs on my audio interface I separate the low frequencies in the DAW where the VST drumming happens.

I have both the throne thumper and the porter & davies. They are not really the same. They do the same function, but they give a really different feeling. While the TT can give you the feeling on your butt, the power it have and the way the P&D is made can make your head shake because the vibrations run through the spine. It’s like a more precise vibration. I felt I was going stupid when I pushed it a little harder than needed, because my brain was shaking. I partially reduced the gap between the TT and the P&D by mounting the TT shaker upside down and all the way up against the lower part of the throne seat. Basically I tried to augment the transmitted vibrations to the seat. I love my P&D but it’s really really expensive. I bought it used from the uk to save some money. The TT was expensive too; I bought it used too, it was a B-Stock. Way cheaper but the feeling is also way cheaper.

Yep, I agree. Feeling your butt vibrate is different than actually “hearing it” in your head like the P&D. I would much rather hear it. The butt shaking is almost annoying to me.

If you add a backrest to your throne (like a roc n soc), you’ll feel the vibrations from the TT up your spine also. At least it worked that way for me

Great introduction to the Buttkicker, I also made a video on it and found that playing with out it is tough. Enjoyed your review and education on it. Thanks

Nice video! I agree that it really helps lock in when playing.

Agreed. It makes you a better player because it helps you lock in and allows you to get in the pocket and stay there.

Nice job, if i had the extra cash id get one of those butt kickers, but the one i made with the dayton puck suits my needs,for now,definitely makes playing more enjoyable, and i agree with you about when u turn it off , u miss that vibration

We route the drummer IEM mix via a Matrix on the console with a low pass filter set at 100hz to the amp that drives the butt kicker. Our drummers love it.

Dayton bst-1 with a nobsound amp is a nice cheaper alternative. I use 5 bst-1 with my sim racing rig haha.

The Dayton pucks will work too but wouldn’t recommend if you have multiple kits and thrones because the mounting isn’t as transferrable as this buttkicker.

If not mentioned or asked yet, I’d be interested to know how it would work with a trigger attached to the kick drum as opposed to a microphone as the sound source. Great video. Thanks!
@myfavoritedrumgear

Using a trigger alone doesn't work, as the trigger sends an electrical signal and not a frequency. You'd need to run the trigger into a module of some sort to create a sound with a low frequency, then send it to the Gamer Pro amp. Thanks for watching!

How’s the ambient volume in the room? Does it rattle like crazy?
@myfavoritedrumgear
5 ай бұрын
There’s no ambient sounds with the electronic drums since it’s a direct input from the module. I have my acoustic drums about 8-10ft away from my furnace, and my bass drum mic (while admittedly not the highest quality) picks up no sound from the furnace and therefore sends no unwanted vibration to the transducer. Thanks for watching!

It rattles some. If you take your headphones off, you can hear the vibrations from the buttkicker subtly

Probably ok for a studio/practice room, but I wouldn’t lug it around for gigging.

I did gig it once for a show where I backlined my acoustic kit for 6 total drummers and an all-night show. The drummers all enjoyed using it, but for a single set show, I leave it at home as well. That said, I really love it on my electronic kit at home.

Actually it’s best for gigging. It’s smaller than having a subwoofer next to the drummer which is usually recommended for backline when using IEM
@allenmitchell09

When you play a good amount of gigs, you whittle your gear down to either what’s necessary or what you don’t mind toting. It could be that I tried the butt kicker and decide it’s worth lugging. Or like my original comment, I feel like I would enjoy it but want to keep it hooked up at home. Also, IEM’s aren’t enough to where you need a subwoofer? I’ve never worked off of those so I don’t know.
