61 yrs. old with a good number of musical instruments to give myself a headache with but apparently I must have come to the conclusion that what is missing in my life was a drum set. Nope, never picked up a stick in my life but, always wanted to learn. I have to tell you watching your channel was a major reason for that decision. Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, talent and tutelage with us.
I really dig the efnote pro kits subdued style. Def one of the sexiest “vanilla” stage kits out now. A bit pricey, given the shells, but should hold up far better than the more economical pad versions. Enjoy! 🤙
Nice drum kit Emma. ✨🥁✨ Crazy how much detail EFNote have put into it, with all the repeater skins and different sets of cymbals. Does the 'brain' remember different sound settings between cymbal sets? For example; The dark set for a jazzy sound and the light set for more rock duties? This would save having to reprogram for different cymbal sounds in a hurry. I am a drummer, I have Hay fever as well.. 👀 conspiracy? Hope the hay fever is better 🤧
An advantage of e-kits was that they took up less space vs an acoustic kit. With the new trend towards more realistic looking e-kits you lose that advantage. There are still subtle things you can do with an acoustic kit and cymbals that e-kits can't replicate but they are getting closer. Of couse there is the advantage of not bothering everyone in your house and neighbors. 😀
Double Kick: you’ll need someone who knows how to build up speed singles. BUT! Never underestimate the sheer coolness of riffs and accents just outside the ability of single pedal triplets. Think spending your life as a one handed drummer and Emma comes along and shows you what a second hand can bring to your feel.
How does one get into fulltime drumming as a job?! Been playing drums for half my life and want to turn it into a career! Primarily looking at live session work, then later joining a band or artist
In all honesty you'll likely want to get into some function bands/teaching if you want to build up some more reliable work and then build session stuff up along side that x
Do you prefer electronic drums over acoustic??? I notice on your videos your only on acoustic drums I’ve played both but prefer acoustic as the touch is better for me
Same sticks I usually use. I wish I could play full time!!! Also...... nothing beats real acoustic drums and cymbals vs electronic ones. Just my humble opinion
It's difficult to remain objective when you're shaking your toms about on camera. :-) But I did enjoy the chity chat from you both. I'll rewatch tomorrow to see if I can spot the EFNote kit.
Electronic drums are for those who have no sound and no personality on acoustic drums, or are too lazy to find their own sound. The same applies to recording.
Sorry you're bitter and miserable, homie. I'd love to see some videos of you playing. You should definitely upload some videos so we can all experience your personality on an acoustic kit.
Thank you, Emma and Ilona! That was very entertaining. I started with a rack mounted e-kit and moved to a Roland VAD kit. I find it so much more enjoyable. A lot of it is psychological (and a lot more expensive), but it’s really nice to be able to place every piece of the kit where it works best, ergonomically. I would love to try/have an acoustic kit someday, however, there’s the noise issue. I can’t wait to see your first performance on the new kit!
I am determined to get back into drumming. I started when I was about 15 and then stopped for a few decades. Because reasons. Noise. Job. Family. Etc. Tried to get back in with VDrums but some reasons still applied. Now retired (finally!!!!!) and am getting back on the Roland but also just bought my first full acoustic kit. I have named it Lazarus because it does need bringing back from the dead. But it is a full kit, Ludwig made in China version with stands cymbals pedal high hat throne and sticks for £80. They threw in the rust for free. And I may still have overpaid. But it will be fun trying and I think it is partly (maybe even mostly) this channel which has inspired me. It's supposed to be fun. And watching Emma it always is.
Hey Emma. Jason McGerr from Death Cab is pretty groovy with the double kick. I know he's a teacher as well and has some RU-vid content. Maybe try hitting him up?
