It's nice to have an electric kit for practice and an acoustic kit for live shows. It's an extra expense but worth it! Plus the e kit has alot of cool sound effects.

I 100% agree with you! But the expense of a good electric kit is very high. That’s is why I got the pads. Just trying to show people there are other ways. 🤘

Hihats need something between them to stop the contact and take off the snares otherwise there is nothing stopping them from rattling on the reso head of the snare

Yeah I was thinking about putting a rag in between the hihats to take that crunch away. You’re right I should have turned the snares off and I’ll fo that next time! But luckily in person it did not sounds as loud as it does on the video.

I have a Roland electric kit set up in my home and I gig every weekend with a Pearl acoustic kit. I'd rather practice on my acoustic kit with my RTOM Black Holes than touch the electric kit. Even though I just wanna leave them in their cases until the next gig. Practicing on an electric kit just isn't the same.

You’re right a Roland kit with mesh heads would be the best option. But those kits stark at $1,700 💰! These drum mutes were $70, so they are a good alternative for someone on a budget. It sounds louder in the video because of my microphone and there’s a few things I could do that would make them more quiet. Hopefully I can get a Roland kit soon and compare the sounds 🤘

How tight you have your cymbals locked down is anxiety inducing. When a cymbal can’t resonate the energy throughout due to all that pressure they will inevitably crack. Loosen the wing nuts and let them move. The wing nut is there to stop it falling off the stand, that’s it. Good luck on your quest for quieter drums

Thanks. The stands are brand new and I’m not hitting my cymbals hard. You can see the cymbals move when I hit them.
