Hello (e-)drummer,

my name is Martin, I am BecauseDrumGeek, and today I would like to inform you about the world's most powerful and at the same time best and most authentic sounding e-drum systems.

There are two types of systems: one aims to make e-drums sound as close and authentic as possible to their acoustic counterparts, the other aims to provide creative and innovative enhancements to open up new creative drum playing possibilities. I'll come back to the second type in a separate post; for now, let's focus on the first category, namely making the e-drums as “A”-suitable as possible:

There are some novelty features (in terms of authenticity to acoustic drums) in the e-drum sector that I think should be of great interest to every e-drummer who wants to get as close as possible to the acoustic counterpart:

Namely, the world's most powerful and at the same time best-sounding and most authentic-sounding e-drum systems that provide Right / Left Hand Distinction on snare and hihat together with stepless Center-to-Edge Positional Sensing on snare and the whole thing (with existing Wires-Off versions of drum sampler kits or kit pieces) on top of that as a snare-Wires-Off version of the entire kit that can be switched during playing (by hitting a dedicated Toggle Pad) with all the PS features mentioned above!

L/R brings the e-drum-playing experience a significant step closer to playing on an acoustic kit! ➜ Because the played "sticking" can be heard and felt and doesn't go nowhere like it used to on electric drums.

So if you want your e-drums to be as close a substitute for acoustic drums as possible, there's no getting around authentic Right/Left Hand Positional Sensing paired with stepless Center-to-Edge Positional Sensing.
I can now provide this with state-of-the-art drum samplers like Superior Drummer 3 for real-time triggering of these original drum samplers (i.e. without limited sample import into black box systems*, i.e. all original mixing and routing options and possibilities of the original drum sampler and the DAW remain!

...And there is so much more for you e-drummers to discover (e.g. how powerful can the digital ride cymbal get -> triggering up to 9 different articulations on the ride) :)

You can play and test these e-drum systems exclusively at my place - so send me a PM if you like :).


ENJOY ❗️😊

MixWave ∙ Sleep Token - II "Dream Kit" e-drum engine 😃👉


➜ E-DRUM ENGINE FEATURES :

👉 Hihat:
∙ CUSTOM hihat pedal curve (get your dream translation in terms of pedal openness!)
∙ increased 'Pedal Chick' and 'Tip(Bow)' volume
∙ Roland TD-17 (and similar) Hihat Pedal CC range adaption
∙ Hihat Pedal Splashes work with Roland (and similar) hihat controllers (not possible in default state as Roland modules do not transmit pedal splash midi notes)

------------------

👉 Cymbals:
∙ Cymbal Choking (with Roland -or similar- modules) : you will be able to choke all the Sleep Token Crash/Splash/China cymbal sounds by choking any of your crash cymbal pads.
The Ride pad will exclusively choke the Ride sounds and won't affect Crashes/Splashes/Chinas. ;

∙ additional Cymbal Choke Feature: "Mute Tail Cymbal Choking" -> "Mute Tail" articulations can be made available for Sleep Token Crash/Splash/China cymbals ( --> dynamic Mute Tails - just like SuperiorDrummer3 handles cymbal choking! ):

------------------

👉 BassDrum:
∙ Double Bass Drum sound for Single Kick Pads (irrespectively of "Auto Double Kick") - permanently working / independent of speed ➜ YOU control the "Double Kick Engine" and not the automatic one ❗️ :
-> play DoubleBass with alternating Kick sounds A<->B (the second kick differs soundwise from the first to create an authentic DoubleBass sound/feeling -- ...and switch (during a song) the kick drum engine depending on the musical part / situation / requirement (via dedicated toggle pad hit) --> 'default' Single-Sound "A" vs. 'advanced Engine'-Double-Sound "A<->B"
∙ Flexible "B" sound : With this engine, the "B" sound can differ much more from the "A" sound than with the default state.

------------------

👉 adding kit pieces:

∙ adding TOMS (i.e. two (!) TomToms (a third and a fourth one) + adding a second and/or a left Floor Tom ;

∙ adding a second Snare or call it Side Snare ;

∙ adding a (right (for right-handers)) X-HAT!! (as it increases pleasure of playing so much and provides a varied hihat sound!) ;

∙ adding Splashes / Chinas / Stacks with flipped panning in order to have them on the opposite side ;



ENJOY ❗️ 😊

And yet another novelty feature, which is being launched for the first time and which I would like to go into in more detail:

You can experience what it's like to play native(!) left/right hand samples on the snare and hihat at the free VST-e-Drumming-Workshop on June 27th / 28th in Hannover! :
With the extremely cool-sounding NI "Studio Drummer" and "Abbey Road Drummer Collection" kits! (Toms are also possible with additional digital pads, as native L-R samples are also available there). And the whole thing on the snare is paired with the important 'stepless Center-to-Edge Positional Sensing' and 'velocity-loss-to-edge' compensation! ( ➜ No one wants to play Snare Off-Center/Edge/Halfway articulations if they suddenly appear/change hard at a certain point in the mesh head radius!)

I can justifiably claim that I have the world's most powerful and best-sounding e-drums at the start. Check it out: Is it just a gimmick or a groundbreaking innovation? ➜ All I can say is that L/R brings the e-drum-playing experience a significant step closer to playing on an acoustic kit. Because the played "sticking" can be heard and felt and doesn't go nowhere like it used to on electric drums.

So if you want your e-drums to be as close a substitute for acoustic drums as possible, there's no getting around authentic Right/Left Hand Positional Sensing paired with stepless Center-to-Edge Positional Sensing.

You only have the chance to try it out and have this experience at my place and you shouldn't miss the opportunity now at the end of June at the workshop in Hannover.

I'm also really looking forward to drummers' reactions and feedback on these most powerful and best-sounding e-drum systems (which would be:
1. SD3/SDX/(EZX) kits with R/L on snare and hihat together with stepless Center-to-Edge PS and the whole thing (with existing Wires-Off versions of SD3/SDX kits or kit pieces) on top of that as a snare-Wires-Off version of the entire kit that can be switched during playing with all the PS features mentioned above
+
2. NI "Studio Drummer" and "Abbey Road Drummer Collection" kits with R/L on snare and hihat together with stepless Center-to-Edge PS (+ additional Wires-Off switching for the snare drum)


Enjoy ❗️😊

Was ist Software-E-Drumming und wie unterscheidet es sich von Modul-Sound-E-Drumming?

Wie ist es, authentische und qualitativ beste Akustik-Drum-Sounds (recordet in besten Studio-Räumen mit bestem Studio-Equipment) mit E-Drums in Echtzeit zu spielen und dabei übersetzungstechnisch so nahe wie möglich an Akustik-Drums heranzukommen? (z.B. 'stufenloses Mitte-zu-Rand-Positional Sensing' und 'Rechte-Hand/Linke-Hand-Unterscheidung')

Wie ist es, sogenannte "Advanced Engines" (wie z.B. die "4-Hihats-Transmute-Engine") zu spielen und damit das Rad des Schlagzeugspielens bzw. die Herangehensweise an Musikmachen mit Schlaginstrumenten gewissermaßen neu zu erfinden und zu definieren und ungeahnte und bahnbrechende neue kreative Schlagzeugspiel-Möglichkeiten zu entdecken? ➜ Nur soviel: der Spaßfaktor vom Spielen steigt bei mir dadurch so unendlich an...

Was ist "(E-)Drum-Sound-Heaven"? ➜ Wie ist es, einen unübertroffenen "High-End" Schlagzeugklang beim Spielen zu genießen? ➜ Schallwandler + zugehörige Optimierungs-Tools


➜ Das alles und noch viel mehr beim kostenlosen VST-e-Drumming-Workshop am 27./28. Juni in Hannover ❗️😊
