Hei Merril, you are using the wrong side of the beater according to Alesis. On a mesh kit you should use the plastic side and not the "fabric". You are just shortening the lifespan of the mesh head and it does not impact the sound. I hope that it helps! Thanks for the video!

Hello! Do you happen to know how to change/map each pads and cymbals? I would like to change my rim shot to side sticks and cymbal 2 to splash. Thank you!

Can you just go direct from the alesis brain to the focusrite with a quarter inch instrument cable?

As long as you can connect your Kit to your Mac Mini, I would think you should be fine. I connect mine with a USB Cable, if you go that route, make sure to pick up a converter if your USB ports don't match. From there, you can use your Kit with GarageBand, if it's on you Mac.

Confusing. After connecting the cable to drum module MIDI OUT and connecting it to focusrite MIDI IN... you stopped and jumped into other ways of connecting it. So where do you connect from focusrite to the computer where the garageband is??? People please help. Thanks

See below, there is a USB power cable that connect the Audio Interface to the laptop. I cover it in other videos as well. Sorry for the oversight.

Hi there does the device the Roland - Rubix22 USB Audio Interface do the same thing. I.e. recording my TD12 drum kit to garage band and vocals like the audio device that you use. Hope this makes sense. Thank you. Great video, very educational.

I have connected my Roland ekit with garageband. When I play the kick, it also triggers the crash cymbal. How can I remap the midi mapping in Garageband or on my Macbook air. I am using Mac OS 10.15.4

I researched this over the weekend, and didn't come up with a good answer unfortunately. I was in the process of making a video on it, but didn't finish due to the lack of solid tools to do so. I saw some material on the AU Sampler, but found it to be buggy, and not very useful. There is also a third party tool, MIDI Pipe, but I didn't want to download it personally. Good luck, let me know if you find anything. It's a great question and I will continue to try to find an answer and get back to you.

If its midi you could copy and paste on to another track and drag manually to a bass drum sound? I know its not a permanent fix though.

i posted this question on another video since maybe posting it in a few similar videos might help me I have a different issue, I am trying to use my TD17-kvx to record drums on songs one of my bands sends me on garageband. the problem that I am having is that the hi hat is not triggering all the time on garageband. everything else works. I used to use my TD-6 connected the same way and it worked fine, only sometimes it would miss a note. Also not al the garageband drums kits work properly. some are not triggering the floor tom. so I can only use one of the GB kits at the moment. I have tried everything in the MIDI settings of the module to make the hi hat work. when I play the drums not connected to garageband everything works flawlessly and the hi hat triggers correctly. how can i fix this ? I have a need to use garageband with my phone or ipad. Set up TD17 -KVX midi out connected to Rig Duo, Iphone or ipad connected to iRig duo, headphones connected to IRig heaphone jack. I recorded several demo songs using this same set up with my older TD-6

@@MerrillStreetStudio hey man, thanks for responding, I actually emailed Roland and was surprised not only that they replied back but that they gave me the actual fix. SO I am posting it as an FYI I would asume the idea is similar for any kit. Its a mapping issue, they said this is common because GB and other softwares are not map right or what not. Anyhow here is the solution in case there are others I didnt even know what that other button did or that there were other menu settings. .. I would imagine this method would apply to all kits ... on the TD 17, I had the kit on and hooked to garageband open with a selected Kit......on the module I clicked the "other" button , this opened a menu I had never seen, then arrow down, this way you can select the MIDI mapping. They told me to change the edge one (the one that wasnt triggering) to 44. This matched the bow setting, and that did it. Since I was having the same problem with the open hi hat I set that one to 46 to match the bow and bingo, done.
