Thanks for this! I’ve received as a gift and I’m trying to find anything on how to make the most of them. I’m taking lessons on an acoustic kit but would love for these to be a viable practice option at home.
Glad it helped. I'm just learning drums and have an e-kit - Alesis Nitro Max. I have a private video of a Session lesson that I tried to replicate on these and generally went ok. Not sure about faster tempo fills. Haven't gotten comfortable with not having a surface and rebound on those. But I think it can have a place when you're traveling to work on even independence at slower speeds. I've tried it to work on singles and double drills at slower tempos. Doesn't replace my pad though when increasing tempos and the need for rebound and fingers for me. but it seems some of the more advanced drummers might be able to do it. Let me know how it goes!
@@dylanturner2063 I have since bought a second hand Alessis kit and there is no comparison. I think there is a lot more research and design that is needed for the Aeroband, I'm really hoping they take the feedback and improve their product. In the mean time, @thiswaylabs is doing a great job on setting expectations and how to make to most of this prototype.
i really dont get it.. i tried to calibrate them like 200 times and i cant do that..color on the sticks stays white/blue only and wont change which means that they didnt calibrate..any help me friend?
How to Activate the Color Changing Indicator on Your Drumsticks (Pocket Drum 2 Max) If your drumstick color indicator isn't changing, follow these steps: Ensure everything is properly connected: Turn on your Pocket Drum 2 Max, drumsticks, pedals, and adapter. Make sure everything is Bluetooth-connected. Activate color change: Hold the "VOICE" button for a few seconds to activate the color-changing feature. Now, your drumsticks should light up according to where you point at! Enjoy playing!
Calibrating does not change the led mode. To get the color changing mode press and Hold the Voice button on the adapter until the leds change to blue. Calibrating is completely separate from getting into the mode.
I received this for Xmas and they calibrated just fine but NO audio whatsoever. I can’t get ANY sound out of it. I tried connecting it to my headphones and/or Bluetooth and Nothing. I think I might return these
Scam. In what way? The product is real. The main thing is to have realistic expectations of what it does and doesn't do. It won't ever substitute for a real acoustic or electronic drum kit.
@ thanks for the reply. yeah, totally agree with you. But the question was due to the previous version of the product caused a lot of confusion and not real expectations to customers who bought and paid money based on post production audio that “influencers” posted everywhere; the “real” fact was that they went always off synch, also it was almost impossibile to follow a basic rhythm due to mixed audio pieces received from a single hit, and every time someone tried to explain this also in official company channel comments were deleted by demonstrate only a false advertisement. Anyway, I’ll give it a try, because the idea needs to be implemented. Cheers and have a wonderful drumming 2025!
@Francesco-ow4ud thanks for clarifying. I didn't get the first one. Here's a currently unlisted video I shot before this video attempting to play to a click track which I referenced. My audio set up is in the description. No post production used to sync the track and what I played. Just midi for a different kit sound. ruclips.net/video/YK9ekXO56Y4/видео.htmlsi=qYw6Y4reRARUgLcU I'm still working on where this fits for me.
@@thiswaylabs thanks mate! Now that’s what I’m referring to, and your video clarify better that a real improvement seems have been made in this sticks version, I’ll definitely give it a try as I’ve got also some external vst midi package to run with! And of course, at the base of the concept, there’s the entertainment first, not sure the substitution of drum instrument, but something could be done for sure also in rough recording. Thanks again! And happy new year fellow in drums! 🔥😎
@@Francesco-ow4ud Glad that helped you in your decision. I think people need to set the proper expectations. I don't think this is for a completely new drummer that does not have an acoustic or electronic drum kit / knows some basic grooves. 100% not a substitute for those. I'm still a beginner drummer. I find that it's nice at slower tempos and also can work on wrist and finger exercises. Have to spend more time in it. Been working on my homework for Session 2 on a pad and my e kit at the moment. Appreciate the discussion. If you haven't liked and subscribed that would be appreciated :p. Helps me make more vids, etc.
Really nice video. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching, glad you liked it!

100% not good for beginners, intermediate or pros. You’ll pick up terrible habits with these, and truly aren’t very good made

@@thiswaylabs thank you so very much
@@DamianDoi you're welcome.

@al3xx3991 did you plug the headphones to the correct port. It needs to be plugged into the Line Out. Another user didn't plug into the correct port.
So: is this still a scam? Sorry for went directly straight to the point, but 😊
