    Thanks so much! I was struggling with a 60s Beatles like kit but you did it so fast and good. This will be amazing for my band's 60s inspired songs. I also would never have thought about the mic stuff, but when you told me it was so smart. Thanks again :D

    Great video. As well as showing how to get the sound for that kit you've also just shown great examples of lots of other drum voices. I don't know how you recorded the video but they sound so much better than any other video I've seen on the Nitro Mesh. All others sounded over compressed and muted. Almost put me off buying one. But this video has convinced me, I'm getting me one :-)

    Justin, I’m getting the nitro mesh in a few weeks and I would love if you did a John Bonham Kit, specifically early zeppelin. He’s my favourite drummer and I would love to see how heavy and big the kit can get as my music store doesn’t have it on display so I can’t try it.

    Great video Justin! You really nailed the vintage 60s vibe in that jam. Also that’s a good point about the high cut on the drums. A lot of 60s songs lack that high end crispness in the drums. It gives it that darker and muddier sound. Might just have to take that production choice into my next song

  • @DadBodDrumming
    @DadBodDrumming 3 года назад

    What odd is that when I set my kit up with these same settings the sounds are totally different. I think that the numbers/instruments have changed over time and with updates. But this is a great lesson on how to program the drums. I even set the pan to 0 for all my instruments since they are going out a mono cable to a single speaker.

    Hi "Demonic Sweaters". Thank you so much for all your eford to show us this alesis nitro kit.
    can you shed light on one thing for me? if the cymbal in combination with the module does not have dynamics (one constant volume after various strikes) - will in this case the use of computer sounds (e.g. ezdrummer) will also be limited to a constant volume, despite the multi-sampling sound in a computer application?

    Great video. The end results were pretty damn good. Not sure if it’s my idea of a 60’s or Beatles sounding kit. Again, the end results were indeed good especially with the jam at the end. 👍
    For me I would be wanting that Ringo Ludwig kit sound. Something that I would have hoped that would already exist on electronic drum presets, but obviously doesn’t.

    Thank you for your great and informative videos.
    I used to play drums over 35 years ago. Never had any lessons and played incorrectly but I made it sound good and overall an ok drummer.
    Since then, drumming never left my soul. Always find myself tapping my hands and feet to music and just recently decided I'll be picking up a Nitro set just for fun.
    My question is regarding speaker/Amp for the set. While I'll most likely be using headphones most of the time I would like to also play without them. I'm trying to stay on a small budget since I'm doing this just for fun, I have a few questions.
    Can you recommend an inexpensive speaker/Amp where I can hook it up to the module and be able to hear the drum kit as well as the music I want to play along with (playing from my phone)?
    When using headphones, will I be able to hear both the kit and the music from my phone?
    There are a lot of great sounding Bluetooth speakers out there that I can run my phone's music through but I don't believe they have inputs to run the module through. I'm just trying to figure out the best and inexpensive way of doing this and your knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I bounce around from an Alesis, to a Roland V to an acoustic kit. I'm a lead guitar player but circumstances dictates that I'm NOW a drummer.
