You are my new bff!! I have searched for quite a while for someone who did an actual step-by-step customization of the kit (and showing it on the video) and you have made my day! Thank you and great drumming!
haha no problem at all! Glad you like the vid and it's of use to you :D
Thanks for taking the time to make this :) appreciated. I think I’m settled on the Rd-25kv as my kit. Even after all these years!
Thanks for the reply. The reason I asked about it is because with all of my tech things (lots of them), I always just put the USB Drive right into the port while it's "ON". I'd say I do that 100 percent of the time so when I read about that, in the manual, I was somewhat confused. Feeling that (after watching your video) you certainly know what you're doing (and you do the same as i do) it prompted me to question it. By the way, I'll be 71 years old this year and I still "love" playing. My music room where I keep all my guitars, keyboard and drums is my "Happy Place". My 1st drums were a set of Rogers Cozy Cole Model (I wish I had them now); I'm dating myself!!! I really enjoyed watching your other videos; your Logo is the best. Thanks, again, for all of your efforts...
No problem at all, it's a pleasure to help. Look at it like this, if you've been doing it that way for many years then the chances are it's OK and nothing bad will happen. I'm glad you're still playing, i hope to never have to give it up and one day look forward to having a dedicated room similar to your 'happy place' :) I remember my first set too, a beginner Premier kit but i got loads of upgraded cymbals and hardware and i loved it. Sadly i stopped drumming for a while and sold it all (biggest mistake ever) but that's life i suppose! I'm someone else somewhere is enjoying it. Glad you're enjoying the videos and hope it continues as there'll be many more to come.
Hi Joe, just wanted to say thanks for this clip.I've recently bought the same kit as yours, and just added another crash. Your explanation for the set up has been really helpful in working out a pretty good, diverse kit. I even bought the Shure buds, which are damn good...a lot better than the usual phones, without the sweat component. I'd recommend this kit for anyone getting into drumming, makes it so much easier for practice, especially in an apartment. The sound I'm getting is excellent, and loads of fun...Cheers mate, from Down Under
Hi Tim. Thank you very much. I'm really glad you found the video helpful and you're right the shure buds make such a difference compared to standard headphones, not only with the kit sounds but also any other audio such as backing tracks/songs. Hope you continue to enjoy it as much as i do :)
Thanks for the video and module settings. It really made a big difference. Hoping for more drum covers. Salute.
Hey thanks so much. Some new videos will be coming soon :)
Good Chops, thanks I just bought one and I am a guitar player, bought it for studio work.
Thank you for this informative video, very well explained! Looks like this module is user-friendly, which is very important to me, because I'm a complete beginner when it comes to e-drums. I play acoustic drums about 15 years, but I want to buy e-kit because I live in an apartment. I'm thinking between Yamaha dtx750k, Alesis Strike Zone and Roland td-25kv/30k, but after I looked at your video, I'm leaning toward 25kv :) Really sounds great!
P.S. You got a new subscriber :)
Best wishes from Belgrade, Serbia!
Hey Marko. Glad you enjoyed the video. All the kits you've listed are very good pieces of kit. A lot comes down to personal preference and the Roland just edged it for me. It is an incredibly easy module to use and the sounds are very good plus as with any e-kit the options are endless when you use Midi too. I'd say the TD30 module is for the advanced players who really want to hone in on every detail and are going to use the module to it's capacity in a recording or live session. The TD25 is just the right amount of tech for what i need.
Your kit sounds awesome! Just reinforces how much I want that module for a hybrid kit. I'm certainly not the best drummer in the world, but with how awesome the kick and toms sound, you should add more kick to your fills. Just my opinion, I'm in no way the best. Anyway, awesome content and you definitely gained a subscriber out of me!
Hey thanks so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I certainly intend to start learning/practicing putting more kick into my fills so thanks for the tips/advice! And hey who's the best anyway? As long as you enjoy yourself that's what matters so keep it up and you can only keep getting better and better :)
Nice walkthrough, buddy. Good stuff!
+Maximiliam Andersson thanks man. Appreciate your continued support :) I discovered how hard it is talking on camera with this video! I imagine it gets easier the more you do it
Oh, it absolutely does! :)
+Joe Fletcher I have the same sweaty hand problem, except I am a teenager and I don't play live so I don't hit a lead singer but I have hit a washer and dryer.
+bossnes persondood haha as long as you hit something it's worth losing the sticks lol. You've still plenty of time to one day aim for a lead sInger ;)
+Joe “BeaverBeats” Fletcher Haha. Thhanks man appreciate it.
Thank you for a "really" great video my friend; well done indeed. I just got the exact same set and I love it. I had a Roland TD-9KX2 prior to this one. I have one question for you. I noticed the USB Flash Drive in your TD-25. The (Manual) says "Never Remove or Insert a USB Flash Drive when the power is (ON)", as it can cause damage to the TD-25 or the Flash Drive". I've seen videos, on the TD-25, where the person inserts the Flash Drive while the power is "ON". I'd like to hear your opinion on that. I enjoyed your playing also, thanks for your time...
Thank you very much and i'm very glad you enjoyed the video. I'll admit i am a culprit of inserting and removing the flash drive whilst the module is turned on. It's like anything i guess, the warning is there for a reason because it could damage it and we should really follow the guidelines. To be honest it doesn't take long the the module to turn on and off so probably best to get into the habit of following the guideline to save creating any problems. I should take this advice too i think!
I like your videos they are very interesting! Normally I will buy that drums kit ;)! I wanted the Roland TD30 but she dosn’t exist anymore :( thanks for your videos!! :D
Very nice job!!
nice video mate !! well done !!
Thanks :)
Hi) I have a problem, my USB flash drive does not see the Roland Td-25 (I am trying to load a sound, but unfortunately it does not work. Please help
Can you write here your settings from hi-hat to base drum so that I could copy your set up. Thanks
How you can use the USB???? I have a roland 25kv and My module can't read my usb. Can you help me please???
Hey thanks for the question. What is it you're using your USB stick for? Is it to play tracks or record onto or both? Does it just not recognize the stick at all when you plug it in?
How do you connect your iPhone to the module? I just got the same Roland kit. What cables do you use to connect the iPhone? Great channel though and solid drumming!!!
+Michael Morys thanks man! I just use a standard headphone cable (3.5mm either end). One end into my phone and the other into the audio input on the module.
Thanks for the great vid. Where did you get that FANTASTIC t-shirt?
CavemanPhotos no problem, glad you like it! Tshirts was from amazon if I remember correctly.
Why is your x stick sound so good how do you do this in the settings
Hey man, awesome video - I'm rocking the same kit as you know and I love it. I'm looking at getting back into making videos, I was wondering if you could show me where I can get those gooseneck's you show at 9:45, I'd really appreciate that. Hope you're well hopefully hear from you soon
+E. JONES - DRUMS I'm good thanks! It's a good pout I never actually mentioned where I got them from, probably worthwhile putting a link in the description. I got them off amazon, link is www.amazon.co.uk/Smatree%C2%AE-Ajustable-Gooseneck-Extension-Cameras/dp/B00OOJMZ9C?ie=UTF8&keywords=Smatree%20jaws%20flex%20clamp&qid=1459512716&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
Just about to shoot some new videos over this weekend so look out for them soon :) Hope you're well too and I look forward to seeing more videos!
Hey just purchased my Roland TD- 25kv and I know this video is a few years old but how is the kit holding up?! I purchased mine mainly for recordings and giving students lessons on. Great video btw!!! Hope the kit is still up and running?!
td25 are good too but I decided to buy a td30k...nice review keep on drumming
+Marek Dlugoš thanks man! Good choice on the TD30K! Definitely think one of those will be my upgrade one day :)
Check my videos they sound amazing great =D
Awesome rivew budd ;) I will buy one td24 in a few weeks :D Tell, where do you get the drumless songs? Cheers and keep up the good work
Thank you very much :) I honestly don't use drumless tracks. I just take the original track and mix my recorded drums over the top of them. I tend to reduce the volume of the original track or play around with some of the eq to reduce the drum sound and then bring mine slightly up so the drum sound is more prominent than in the original track. Hope that helps :)
+Joe “BeaverBeats” Fletcher awesome mate... I had to trying in that way because it's not easy to find mainstream songs without drums on it.. Thank you for you kindness... I will follow your work and feel free to follow mine ehehe.. Cheers from Portugal!
What are your room dimensions? Trying to see if I can fit this kit in my room and your layout looks quite nice.
It's roughly 4. X 3.3m. The mate I have the kit on it roughly 1.66m x 1.33m. Hope that helps :)
Very much so. Thank you
Hey man, nice videos and good drumming! I was just wondering what the situation with copyright is regarding your channel. I've noticed that I'm unable to play a number of your videos, which I'm presuming is due to copyright issues? It's weird how some videos play and others don't... I'm also curious about whether it is possible to monetise videos where a song is included?
Hey thanks so much! If you use the youtube audio library you can search songs and look at the copyright guidelines on them. Majority of songs you can use but you can't monetise your video if you use them. Ads will appear on your videos and may some restrictions might be that the video will be blocked in certain countries or can't be played on mobile devices.
Hi Joe,
I own this kit, but I want to add a few extra pads. I would like another floor tom (the PDX-100) and a crash (the CY-12C), does the kit allow more pads to be added? I don't want to start heavily investing! Also, does the cymbal come with a stand? Great video as always by the way!
Hey thanks for the question. The module has 2 additional inputs. One is specifically for an extra crash and the other can be for anything else so yes you could easily add another floor tom. The CY-12C I bought did come with the arm/clamp. I think it's standard but always worth double checking with whoever you buy it from just in case. The extra cymbal allows you to add an additional cymbal or Percussion sound. The other trigger input (your extra floor tom) can have any sound on it. I have another cymbal plugged into this input but I could use the pad for another snare/tom/cowbell etc. Hope that helps :)
Thanks so much!
hi Beaver!!
I record to an usb pendrive.
the quality is super
but, the level is too low
I have to increase the level a lot to mix it with other tracks.
I dont find the way to fix it.
any suggest?
thanks a lot!!
Hi! Great job, I have just described and am thinking of purchasing this kit. Is it possible to record drum covers using just an iPhone and iPad (I don't have a laptop) like playing a drumless track through the module on my iPad and filming with iPhone if that makes sense.
thanks in advance. Keep up the good work :)
*subscribed not described
+Druggyslug thanks for subscribing. You'd have no problem playing the track through the module by using a simple 3.5mm headphone jack between your ipad and the module. Also filming with your iphone will be ok the problem is the audio. You need to be able to record the audio via USB or MIDI. I don't know much about ipad's but if they have a USB memory slot where you could plug a USB stick into then you;d have no issues. You'd record your drum audio onto the USB stick as you play along to the drumless track and the export it onto the USB stick. You would then transfer the audio from the USB stick onto your ipad and use whichever program you can to merge the audio and video together yo finish your video. Hope this helps and your ipad does have a USB connection, if not then i'm not too sure how it would work as you wouldn't have a way of recording the audio.
how do you remove drums from the original music tracks? -fellow td-25 owner
+5haneOmac personally I don't. I just recorded over the top of the original track. I'm aware there are sites which provide drumless tracks but I'm not sure what they are. I'm sure a quick google search could probably provide a few answers for you :)
Can you put cymbal or percussion sounds on tom pads? Great video as always
Hey. With the Tom pads you can assign Percussion sounds and with cymbal pads you can also assign Percussion. The extra trigger input allows you to assign any sound you want. You can't assign cymbal sounds to the Tom bads and vice versa unless you use midi software. Unfortunately the module doesn't allow you to customise the Tom pads to cymbals which is a shame.
thanks
No problem. Glad you like the vids :)
I've been a subscriber for a while now and i always enjoyed the content
hey bro do u have td 25 kv mapping file for midi recording ? ?
Hey! I'll be honest i've not had very detailed dealings with using MIDI, last time i did was over a year ago. When i did set it up i just used RUclips to find the info i needed and some walkthroughs of how to set it up with the DAW i was using which was Reaper. Sorry i can't be much more help.
so I waited 20 minutes only to hear you clap hi-hats
