DIY Project
Hey, thanks for
visiting my small site. Here you will find information about how I constructed
my do-it-yourself electronic drum kit.
Why go DIY?
Money. Looks. Accomplishment. All these reasons and more convinced me and should
convince you that boycotting Roland's overpricing is worth it. Lets take
Roland's top of the link kit, the TD-20S V-Pro Series. These go for about $5200
– this amount of money could buy a dream PC or equipment for a mini
recording studio! In total, I spent about $450, not counting the only part
worth shelling out the cash for: the module. In my opinion, Roland’s
modules are just about unbeatable because they are really the only company
which has sat down and taken time to perfect the art of electronic drumming.
Alesis comes in second with their affordable D4 and DM5, but these have limited
features. The module I purchased was the TD-12 because it was only a grand
instead of $1500. I wanted Roland’s best rumored sound quality and
features, which reportedly were included in the 12. What can I say? The project
was a huge success. Take a look for yourself…
