Good suggestion, Thank You, I'll add it to the list of future videos to make. It occurred to me in editing that I probably should have just done that, but wasn't sure on if it was necessary or not, so now I have my answer, and my apologies that I didn't do it for this video. The good news is that I didn't add anything extra to the frame, everything fits on the stock frame and in fact, I think I could probably fit even one more expansion pack, although I'd have to sacrifice the cymbal choke functionality, which I enjoy using. I have moved different pieces around, but I think it's all just personal preferences, for example I moved the module and two crash cymbals to the center of the rack as opposed to the left and right arms, but again, I think everyone will have personal preferences as to where they want cymbals, pads, module, etc. for their liking and setup. The stock rack and hardware is very flexible to a lot of different setups, which is really great!
@@JROID I have emailed Simmons tech support this same question. Have not received a reply. So yes please create an "how to" video. Regarding mounting additional tom pads.
@@davidmost5206 I certainly will make a video, however I usually rotate between guitar, drum, and synthesizer videos so it may take a few weeks to get it out. If you're in a hurry for assistance, it's really not too difficult, you just loosen a few bolts using the drum key that comes with the Titan 50, slide off the end post of the side your looking to place a drum and slide the clamps/mounts on/off the rack/frame. The actual placement is up to you. If you're not in a hurry, as I said, I'll gladly make a video for you, it just will take a bit of time to get to it.
I’d really appreciate it if you could make a video on how to hook it all up to make it 6 Tom’s and 6 cymbals. I have the titan 50 B-EX and I would love to have more of a little more of a setup for recording with my plugin.
If I purchase another expansion pack in the future, I'll be glad to do that, unfortunately right now this is all I have so I can't do it right now. It would basically be the same steps as in this video though, only you'd have to sacrifice the choke functionality on the two cymbals and instead use 2 couplers+insert cables on those two tom cables as well, splitting them into your 6th tom and 4th, 5th, and 6th cymbals. I believe you could also split the snare, but you'd lose the dual zone functionality there. Basically, due to the limitations of the Titan 50 module, you'd have to sacrifice something.
Cool vid, JROID! Happy New Year, Brother ! Hey quick question. I have an Alesis DM10 Pro Kit. I built it into a Tama Acoustic Kit, and it turned out killer! But I am now at a point where I want to get better sounds. I want to use software like you are doing. How do I get started? Is there a a reasonably priced software package? I suck on drums. LOL I just want to get better sounds than the module provides. What software package can I get, relatively inexpensive? And what do I do next? Plug into a Lap-Top? How does that interface with the drums? And the inputs and outputs? Sorry to bug you on this !
Thank You, same to you pal! And you're not bugging me one bit, you know I love talking about music gear any time. This is actually an excellent idea for a video to make in the future, so thank you for the great questions! But for now, let me see if I can get you started in a good direction. First off, as I said previously, your kit sounds most excellent! And it's all about fun, more variety=more fun, more fun=more playing, more playing=better skills! So first thing is you want to make sure you have a computer that can handle drum software, some are lighter on resources than others. I highly recommend trying out a bunch of free versions of drum programs, one of my favorites being ML Drums, sounds great with just the stock presets. The free version does however have limitations on number of toms (2), which is a bummer. Expansion packs for that, although inexpensive if you get them on their 50% sales can end up getting addicting as you end up wanting them all. So recently I've been really working a lot on using IK Multimedia's Modo Drum as it was included in the Total Studio Max bundle that I bought on sale for like $150, which also included Amplitube & Tonex (guitar/bass), Syntronik (synths), Sampleton (mellotron), Sampletank, TRackS (mixing/mastering) and a whole bunch more. I've been slowly unpacking the bundle making videos for everything on my channel and it's a ton of fun, well worth the ~$150 sale price. Modo Drum specifically has 13 different drum kits, which I did a video on. There's a lot of versatility there. They have a free version as well, but it only includes 1 kit (based on a Yamaha). Then really the only other thing is an audio interface, do you have one? I just use an older Focusrite Scarlet 2i2, which settings wise you'll want to use ASIO, otherwise there will be latency, which is no fun at all. You just plug your audio interface and Drum module into your computer via USB, open your drum software, make sure everything is good in settings and then you're playing! Again, a video on this would definitely be much more helpful, but I'm here if you have any further questions! The best thing though is free software, as then you can see what works and what doesn't before spending a bunch of money.
Happy New Year 💥🔥
Thank you, same to you, my friend!
Happy New Year
Thanks pal, same to you!
Please create a video on how to physically install the extra tom pad. Where did you mount it? what did you have to move add or change to the frame.
