In this video I will show you how to duplicate the Roland KD-220 bass drum for electronic drums on a lower budget.
This video is also a review about the Roland KD-220, KD-180 and the KD-22A adapter.

This video is about building the an electronic bass drum with the most realistic playing feel. Recently I got the chance to play the Roland KD-220, KD-180 and also a modified 22” Acoustic Kick drum with an Roland KD-22A adapter attached. I tested countless other trigger solutions in the past, but none of them could provide such a decent playing feel. Those 3 Roland Kick Drum solutions are definitely in the top league.
However, the KD-220 costs 1500€, while the cheaper KD-180 costs still 1200€. The only equal affordable solution is the Kick drum converter for 330€ combined with an acoustic kick drum. However this is still kind of expensive, even if you get a cheap bass drum like the Pearl Export 22” For only 250€.

@famitory 5 лет назад

building the module is a matter of finding a suitable DSP platform, either an x86 such as Intel atom, or one of the 8,000 ARM processors with number salad names, adding in an audio and trigger interface solution (just find something readymade and jam it in there) and then spend two years coding a drum firmware from scratch

@shadow105720 Год назад

If you just want to trigger samples and have a computer you can use, they make midi trigger inputs so you don't even need the module. Won't work standalone though

@kapuchnikski 3 года назад

You can pack the kick drum with a large thick blanket to remove all air and dampen both heads. Ive done this in the past when recording in a pro studio, using kick drum triggers and packing the drum to reduce volume as much as possible to avoid bled into the mics. Worked extremely well. I used Fishman Purple Microdot head mount triggers and was able to play completely naturally and silently with great control over the trigger sensitivity. Try it!

@jockmckenzie8603 5 лет назад

@@Vdrumtips1 It started with a Tama Swingstar acoustic kit and a Roland TD 6 which I had used for practice for many years. I converted the acoustic kit with triggera triggers, drumtec mesh heads, a gibraltar drum rack, VH11 and assortment of CY cymbals as well as a cable snake from scratch to suit. I struggled for a long time with the TD6 (extended with an Alesis trigger IO) but luckily a TD12 came up for sale which I immediately bought. We dont have a big 2nd hand market is South Africa so it can be frustrating finding used modules. So now I am using the TD12 (extended with the TD6 for cymbals only) and running it all through EZ drummer 2. Will upgrade the triggera triggers at some point but it is good enough for now. Your videos were a great source of inspiration, advice and trouble shooting. Much appreciated!

@@Vdrumtips1 Yes it is possible, but the cost of shipping and import duties adds a substantial cost that is difficult to justify sometimes.

@imwatchinya 5 лет назад

Very impressive! i did a similar thing with my 26" bass drum. they sold memory foam neck supports in Lidl for £6 (circular tube) so i built a bracket glued the piezo to the bracket & put the half the foam tube in front of the piezo. most drums sounds work fine within the parameters of the module but a slight few are askew with the velocity when you hit them, but hey it's DIY

That's a great DIY job, but for someone like me that is not that mechanically inclined I use two Bix's by Triggera on a mesh head. I don't tighten the head too much so you can sink the beater similar to the Drum-tec. It feels great and is a much cheaper option.

This guy is amazing and extremely motivated. I however am not. I just took my old Yamaha kick trigger whick has a flat pad and installed it in my kick drum using simple bracing to hold it against the mesh head.
