If you don't like the sounds from the Alesis module, you can always use drum software on a computer to add new tones. But you can't make the Roland kit feel more like an acoustic kit without spending more money. Advantage: Alesis.
Hi bud, I just bought an alesis crimson II SE and wanted to ask you if these modules can only be stored on the pc or they can be permanently installed in the alesis. Ty!
Yes you can change the sounds but that change is gonna cost u 200 dollars for ez drummer 3 so it's not like you can change it for free. The bfd player is still behind compared to Roland's module
I bought a second hand roland td1 dmk for a very cheap price, used less, it has great tones, it made me very happy. The difference from the TD07kv is that its module is a little simpler but it works a lot, the kick pedal is connected to the rock system, it does not have an external structure but there is no difference in sound, the toms and snare are exactly the same as those used in the kv7, it is quite sufficient for an entry-level drum enthusiast, I play along with the tracks extracted from the drum sounds of my favorite bands and artists on youtube, it is very enjoyable and educational.
I still use an Alesis D4, I use the insertion from the mixing console from the drum channels to the D4 in my FOH rack. After so many years I use it live, even with major artists and large audiences.... great product.
I would like to ask how the drums sound when hit fast. I think it makes such a weird sound. It was as if each subsequent blow cut the previous one and made a tiny gap. So they don't mix. It sounds like cheap keyboards. Sorry for the comparison, but I don't know how else to describe it. Does anyone have experience? It's a tax on cheap sets, or even the more expensive ones have it. Also, I probably didn't hear any strange sound anywhere that resembled the sound of a recording. It always sounds artificial, or wannabe acoustic. But who wants the drums to sound acoustic when they're going to tweak it in the mix anyway. I would expect sounds similar to those "like from the studio", i.e. from a finished recording.
I want to say that i felt the comparison a little biased. You choose the worst sounds from the Alesis to compare but it's my own opinion, some may desagree. Cheers!!
I love my TD07. The sounds are just awesome and the pads are great. Yeah, they're on the smaller side, but you can always upgrade later down the line to bigger pads.
Dude, I'm thinking of buying the td07dmk, but if I can afford it, I can buy the td07kv. The most important difference between the two is the kick pads. The kick pads are separate and larger in diameter in the KV series. Could this have any advantage in the sound? I've never used an e-drum kit before. It's worth the high price difference between the TD07DMK and TD07KV. Do you think? Thank you.
The dmk is best deal, the kv is to expasible and hi do same job.. Trust me, i just try de dmk and the kv and i decited to buy the dmk and after few week i am very happy with this
@@enacheaurel6071 I will most likely buy the 07dmk, but the dmk has a td 2 kick pad and the KV has a larger diameter td 10 kick pad. I'm wondering if there is a difference in tone between the 2 pads when playing. As a result, I live in a detached house and there is no possibility of disturbing my downstairs neighbor :)) If the difference is only visual and there is no difference in tone, I do not want to pay extra.

I think that the Alesis kit would be what I choose on this one. I actually liked the sounds on the Crimson better than the Roland in this video and the look of the kit is far better in my opinion. I love the look of the Crimson and once again, Superior Drummer3 can solve the inferior sound quality. I am really enjoying your gear comparison videos, I am glad that I found your channel! :-)
td07 is really the way to go if you're playing at home. more compact, better sound quality, and i dont know if the crimson 2 has it, but the td 07 has Bluetooth capability. huge if you're playing along and learning new songs

This is not a fair comparison because the Alesis drumkit is more expensive, maybe two or three hundred more. You should compare the Alesis with a Roland TD-11KV. And if you compare those the Roland wins in terms of feel, it has the velocity more accurate, and that is the most important thing when you buy an electronic drumkit because you can get the sounds from your DAW but the velocity can be brought only by the accuracy of the drumkit.
In USA the Alesis is way less expensive than the Roland. So I thought it was unfair for the Alesis to be compared to a more expensive Roland kit. Roland is expensive, won't give you much for the money.
I am going to start playing drums from scratch, I am researching e-kits to improve myself as an amateur at home, to practice, to accompany backing track music, I have watched many review videos and comments. I was thinking of Alesis, but I can hear that it produces fuller and more classical drum-like intonations compared to Roland Alesis, while Alesis has a harder accent. And it has a metallic tone, so I think I'll buy a Roland TD07DMK or a TD07KV if I can add more money, but Alesis looks nice too. I'm still undecided on my decision.

Alesis can use SW running on a laptop to get better sounds and it seems easier to adjust parameters using the laptop. Does this makes its sound more comparable (or maybe better) than the Roland built in sound? What about the sensitivity of the mesh pads (Alesis vs Roland)? Which one has more dynamics?
Roland...nice but i love the Alesis more...because...nice and good sound AND the price !! The quality from ALESIS is great .I bought this and...i love it !!
Can another kick pad (KD-10) be added to the TD-07KV so i can use single pedals for double bass drum playing? Using double pedal on a single Pad makes it wobble as the impact of each stroke is too strong for the small pad (KD-10) to handle.
I am not following the logic of the noise tests, surely that is based on what amp / speakers you use how loud they are? Most people playing in apartment buildings will be using headphones, so a better test is how loud the pads / cymbals are with no direct audio output?
Coming from acoustic drums, I would choose the alesis because it feels more like an acoustic and use a plug-in to import better sounds from my computer
@@pilartamblay6491 Hey, you really think the Alesis feels more natural? I've always heard Roland had the superior feel when comparing to acoustic heads. I don't know, I'm just getting started myself, I was just surprised to see your feedback.
Alesis is terrible unless you go for Pro series. Getting a TD07 KV soon and can't wait. Alesis lasts maybe 6 months before everything falls apart and good luck with whatever they call "customer service".
Comparativa subjetiva donde las haya, si comparas sonidos elige los mismos kits o al menos similares, no me elijas un buen ejemplo de kits en Roland Vs unos sonidos de dibujos animados en Alesis, que para elegir mejores tienes a patadas, no me ha quedado claro y veo que a casi nadie tu comparativa, como lo veo Alesis relación calidad/precio es imbatible frente a Roland

Volume part didn't make sense to me. These are e drums. Doesn't the volume depend on, uh, the knob? I thought you were going to compare the sounds without amplification.
You can tell he is a Roland guy! He didn't use any of the good kits from Alesis. Besides Roland is way too expensive for the money, I know, because I played them for years.

Fax exactly what I was saying like he chose a rust bucket sound for the alesis
Should have chosen same kits on both. Like rock for both and pop for both.

I chose Crimson because it is bigger and dualzone. In my practical test, the Crimson performed extremely better than the TD07 for little more money.

Hi! Which is better, TD-07KV or TD-11K or TD-11KV ? Thank you.
For the Crimson, can you upgrade to a different hihat and put it on a real stand?
I know the TD-07KVX has a better hihat on a real stand.
Which you think about the Roland vs titan 70?
I like hi hat and snare all sounds pretty tight
in next video you can compare Hitman HD-30 Marauder vs Millenium MPS-850 please
Let me talk to the product management team. //Simon
Can you compare The Elesis Crimson 11 against the Carlsbro CSD600
Awesome video thank u . Could u also make compare video about roland vs efnote soon ?
Will try...what series should i compare?
vad 503 vs efnote 7@@ThomannsDrumBash

Ambient volume in the room from the sticks hitting the pads. It had nothing to do with the volume from the processor/headphones/speakers.
Just get a DAW and make it sound however you want.
You should at least compare. Punk to punk and jazz to jazz.

maybe you can adjust the lacking? no need to watch any further. das bin ich mehr gewohnt von thomann
