hi,
i'm new here too, came to e-drum idea by looking around for a guitar at a big internet shop.
had a split second idea of checking out drums after some years (as a student i once played
for two or three weeks a bad cheap acoustic set in the students home basement - some j.brown funk loops)
i really picked up quick although i never played before (guitar player) and i loved playing drums.
thats all my drum background!
so i checked out their internet drum department and stumbled across e-drum.
googling around looking comparing (what diy triggers aha ahm ..., oh these modules, roland T4
1000€ ???? seemed the best cheap thing bookmarked and organised youtube links of e-drum presentation
and diy e-drum stuff and dealers and e-drum software and finally after three days i searched for drum modules with google
and found this here site. Fantastic, excellent. Thats what i thought to myself: can't be that impossible to read out those triggers and turn them into midi data.
[b]Great Stuff! Thanks dmitri. Big Thanks!
And thanks Synthex for providing PCBs.
I'll take one of the new kits when ready - incl. Jack PCB if possible.
