Hmmmm. That's a good question. I think it would be difficult but it would really build your strength and control over the strokes. I know for myself I NEED the rebound so I'd have a very hard time doing it. If you had tighter springs and got it working it would help transition to not using such a tight head which would be good.

Wish I could remote in and help ya man. This stuff has a bit of a learning curve but one's you figure it out it should be easy after. First step. Get the ekit working in the vst with midi. Even if you can't hear it you can see the drums hit when you hit the pads. That part has to work or your out of luck. After that you can spend time clicking on the drums while screwing around with audio and not getting up and down constantly. I have some concerns when you install all these drivers and audio filters as they make large changes. Might be easier to reinstall windows if you screw it up bad enough. If you can hear the drums in waveout while hitting the pads there is latency but that's what your computer audio will use. If the audio works in thr VST without reaper then open it in reaper and confirm hits are registering. Same thing goes again. It's 99% an audo routing issue.

@@beyondbetrayal Appreciate the reply. I was able to bandaid a solution together. Hopefully this might help someone else out too. It isn't perfect, but with a latency of 2 ms, I can't be too upset. So let's say what I did first with the VST. So the VST was set to the master track, not track 1. So setting it to track 1 fixed that. Next, let's just get it out the door, asio HATES me. For some reason, it will not work no matter what I do. It's probably because the soundcard I have is embedded into my mobo instead of having an actual designated one, thus needing to use realtek for all my sound-based needs. So what I did was use WASAPI set my audio device to "Stereo Mix (Realtek(R)Audio) for the input. This pretty much just uses whatever the system sends to whatever default speakers the pc uses for headphones/auxillary input mostly. As for the output, I set it to Speakers (Realtek(R)Audio). DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE RECORDING AUDIO (ONLY USE IT FOR WHEN YOU ARM THE TRACK FOR CREATING MIDIS). IF YOU TRY TO RECORD AUDIO, THIS WILL CREATE A FEEDBACK LOOP AND DEAFEN YOUR EARS! If you do want to record audio, you have to set it to a separate device like a tv or monitor's built-in speakers for the output. However it worked fine for me when needing to make midis. Since wasapi had horrible latency, I set realtek device to have incredibly high studio quality 192000 hz and matched it in the samplerate. To fix the issue with not hearing the rest of my pc, I set it to shared mode in wasapi. ANOTHER THING asio hates. I'm Still figuring out alot of things like quantizing the midi so not every note is a 1/64th note and how to adjust/create notes in the midi editor, but other than that, atleast I'm not throwing my keyboard at the wall anymore.

Oh ya. If you work at it anything is possible. 290 is crazy fast though. And in reality, the faster you are playing the less distance from the head you have to rebound. Same goes for single strokes on the hands. Mics and a good compressor or triggers are the way around that. Not many people hit 290 on the feet without a trigger.

@@beyondbetrayal but if I put the beaters closer to the head then I basically have no velocity towards the bass drum when striking, meaning even less rebound, and even less power. I'm currently at 220-240 ich after 3 days of using the a21 or any longboat for that matter and, I'm just worried because at about 230 the power on the second stroke is barely there

@@Evixus-gr1dm That's where spring tension comes into play. it all works in harmony, spring tension, head tension, beater distance, and practice.

@@beyondbetrayal but my springs are maxxed. Are you suggesting loosening them? I tried that but that just makes the pedal not respond quick enough

@Evixus-gr1dm my springs are about mid tension.... but I make up for that with head tension as I need the rebound. That rebound allows me to "catch" the pedal and swing it back, creating momentum. Hitting 240/250 using doubles is quite easy for me like this. I'm not suggesting you do anything. Everyone plays differently. Another thing you can try to play with is beater height. Or get beater weights. They all change the feel of the pedal quite a bit. So think beater height, weights, the beater itself, spring tension, head tension, distance from head, and the pedal itself. Each one will have an effect on another. If I adjust one setting, changing another may respond differently. It's a balance and takes a while to get used to after changing, too. At the end of the day, though, trying to hit those speeds is going to require changes to your velocity.

I'll check. i think i cranked it as output is low i've heard on a few gigs from sound guys

Did you also have all triggers set to 100?

Did you check mate?

No i don't use that. retrig cancel for time between hits, sensitivity/gain and threshold are the main ones

Keep the heads loose for a good bass sound. i don't use the tunebot on my kick usually

Thanks for watching!. Love me some old nofx

Appreciate it. I tried to make it simple to follow.

Thanks buddy

Anytime!!

Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching. Greetings from Canada 😀

14 I believe. It's been a few years haha

Good luck. I love my demons.

Incorrect. Anything that makes a frequency is technically a musical note. Many pro drummers and techs do this. No ones forcing you to do this, but when you actually tune your drum correctly (without a tunebot) it registers as a note. This makes it easier and more accurate than your ear 100% of the time. Your venues and sound guys will thank you.

It's a drill bit made by Evans lol. Works great, just have to be careful

Hahaha best comment in a while. Thanks. Might as well move to Sunnyvale trailer park

Yes please

I get more consistent and accurate results on the tunebot. If I swap a head mid recording 350 hz is 350 hz no matter what. You are correct though. They both work and if you add some tuning by ear along with them you can't miss

Anything with enough power to hear it. For a few hundred a powered pa speaker you can plug right into from the module

It's amazing how nice it feels to play it. Both sides are perfect. Agree that LC make the best sticks around as well. They last FOREVER!!

I find I keep them all the same, and then adjust for taste. Maple is going to have a different overall tone, and charactor, but it all works the same. Steel, brass, maple. I tune my steel and wood pearl reference snares the same way.

Glad you enjoyed it

I have the same question

I made this over 6 years ago. Perhaps you're right

So good to hear man! rock on!

I prefer the i5. Similar volume but sounds a bit more eq'd.. more slightly more attack

@beyondbetrayal Thank you for the reply. My shure sm57 is not loud enough.. if you know a louder instrument mic. Please let me know, thank you.

Haha awesome! Who says a bunch of old guys can't play punk and skateboard right??
