How To Set Up Your Electronic Drum Set 

Put this video together for some of my private students to help them with their own set up at home! Thought I'd share these points on here for anyone else it may help!

Thank you very much for taking the time to share this with us all. Not knowing anything about drums or how to set them up, your instructions were very clear and makes a LOT of sense. You have a very nice way of explaining things. Thank you again.

Thank you very much for such down to earth practical help. 73 years young and 1st edrum kit. There are no instructions on how to set up. Thanks again.

The “how would you hit it if you were air drumming” is a brilliant tip. Thanks!

Nice. Been playing acoustic for a LONG time. Now I"m 60, just got a electric set and realizing I have to totally change the way I play and approach this new set up. Gave me some good ideas.....but basically, going to have to start over. I think my acoustic days are over.

I've just finished building my drum riser and sound proofing the place as I'm on the top floor. Next part is setting up my kit so really glad I clicked this video. You've really helped me out! ☺️ Thanks Phil!

Thanks. Great advice. I just got my Alesis Surge kit a week ago. I set it up and started playing as a rank beginner. It didn't feel just right so after watching your video I started over again, beginning with the throne just like you suggest. Then I positioned snare, then kick, and so on. Now it feels great.

Thanks Phil, Clear and easy explanations, perfect thanks!

Excellent video with very important tip thk man!!

didn’t really help me set it up but thanks

Thanks for this, I have been searching for just this basic set up information. I have found almost nothing on drum height and placement relating to electronic drums.

I've been looking for a video like this for a long time. Thanks!!!

Useful info. Nice one 👍

Awesome 👍 I've been playing for 32 years, now. Although I come from an acoustic Kit background, I've been playing an electronic Kit for 12 years. Naturally, I already know this information... however, I'm always interested in how drummerZ choose to educate others... their style of teaching, the particular aspects of drumming that they cover...etc. I really like and appreciate how you explained the basic tennants of electronic drum 🥁 setup 🥁🥁 you definitely earned a Like and a Subscriber 👍👍👍😉😉😉🥁🥁🥁

Good insights thanks!

Super helpful! Thanks so much

DUDE! thank you

Thank you very much for your helpful video!

I’ve learned a lot of your style My friend. Keep it up

Great video :)

I have about 20 hours of practice on an acoustic kit. I bought a ekit because I underestimated how loud an acoustic kit is. At first I didn't like it at all. The pads are super bouncy compared to my acoustic kit and I wasn't comfortable with the setup. I've tweaked the ekit a little over the last several days and with some play time I'm getting used to it. However I'm worried if I spend enough time on the ekit I'll dislike the acoustic kit. Life is hard haha

Really helpful

Canny tutorial that mind Phil. I’ll be watching out for that when I next see you gig lol

Thank you

great vid mate, very helpful

Thanks mate

Wish I had a decent kit like that

"Excellent Advice,, I see people having to much kit" , leaving no playing space,

how to connect the electric drums into the amplifier?

Why do a lot of drummers only like to use one rack Tom?

Here’s the problem with electronic kits. They’re mostly always set up wrong. A regular acoustic set can be set up ergonomically correctly so that the toms are in front of the snare drum and the ride cymbal over the kick drum. With most electronic kits, you can’t set them up that way.

Is it normal to change tombs position on e drums?

How can I set the hihat distance and height so my left hand and right hand sticks don't hit one another. I find I can't lift my left hand high without hitting the right hand stick. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8hXYIax3O-c.html

Great video. I'm just starting out with an electronic kit and this has really helped with setting up.

I got my son an electric drum kit for his birthday and the instructions were completely baffling. It was technically set up, but they didnt offer any best practices or tips. Basically, it was "8 steps and you are done, good luck going forward." This video is really helpful in tweaking the configuration. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge!

Excellent video! Thanks 🙏 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Excellent Advice! I’m close to the set up I need. This really helped to finish it. Well done and thanks.

Thank you so much. That was really enlightening.

Thank you for making this video, I've got my E drum yesterday and there are a lot of good videos on acoustic ones out there but for E kits yours is the best one I've found specially with the positioning of the toms. ❤️🔥

Subscribed :) I am starting to try and learn drums, I have an electric kit and just set it up. Thanks for your helpful video

Well done mate!

This is awesome! Thanks!
