Background: Drumming for 4 months. I bought a Fazley budget kit to see if I liked drumming and, well, I do. Besides that, I am an Arduino / 3d print tinkerer, so I need to build by own e-drum kit.
Looking for: Advice and support
Hardware: Nothing, really, yet. Looking for guidance there, too.

Time Zone: AEST (GMT +10)
Background: Drumming for 43 years. I have a Yamaha DTX900 setup that I have upgraded over the years and added extra pads and cymbals. Running 2 modules to cover the large setup. Play all musical styles but Funk is my favourite. I use Superior Drummer and love the realistic sounds that I can generate. I spend a lot of time tailoring my drum kit sounds and always looking for improvements in my VST and hardware setup. Hi Hats are still the major VST "weakness" vs acoustic Hi Hats.
