just regular drum sounds

just regular drum sounds

2006-07-25 by Thomas's

It was interesting to see the posts from the people in seach of "Bonham" kit settings. I bought my DTX III as a more convenient substiturte for a conventional acoustic kit. The bells and whistles, piano and horn sounds, sfx (and who knows what else lurks in that brain!) are (to me) more of an inconvience than anything useful because i'm always pushing buttons, etc., trying to find drum sounds instead of whatever else. I'm not really interested in finding the sound of a specific legendary drummer (although that sounds interesting) I just want to find several different kits that sound the way I want them too for the various type of music I might be playing. Any tips on getting real drum sounds would be appreciated.
Question. How many of you use regular cymbals in conjuction with the DTX III? Here's why I ask. One, they would probably sound better. Two, the cymbal pads could be utilized as more drum heads. Negatives. Expense, as well as that would get away from my original intent in going with the DTX III (and digital drums) which is the convenience (size, portability, etc.) of them.
Just wanted to post.

I haven't used the amp I bought yet. I haven't found anyone to play with outside my house so I only practice in headphones with cd's. The amp I bought when I traded drum kits is a Hartke bass amp. Fairly good sized one. ; Has anyone used one of them? I have seen Berringer's mentioned on this list, but haven't heard one. They were cheaper at the store, but the clerk worked out a deal on the Hartke. Now, I need to use it!
