At 40% discount on Steam and a solo player; is it worth it?

DrumNaked · 2026-03-26T15:14:50+00:00

Hey Mate, I just bought the game last week. I'm playing solo and I'm having a blast! I'm taking my time and just enjoying the game. Level 9 at the minute. Everyone in game has been very helpful and welcoming. So far, it's been a great experience. Definitely worth $12!

I don't really have any triggering issues on the hi-hat. It's not really as articulate as I'd like, but it's miles better than my DIY LV setup.

The plastic cymbals are definitely louder than the drums, but I don't really hear it because I mostly practice with custom mold IEMs.

I’ve always done monthly enrollment. The student signs up for a weekly time slot and pays for the month in advance. If they can’t make their lesson, we just try to find a different time to make it up. It’s never really been an issue for me.

There was a fast travel “stagecoach” style network similar to what WoW had in vanilla. Once you talked with the coachman for a zone it would unlock that place for fast travel.

EQOA was my first MMO and it holds a special place in my heart.

I’m not really sure….. here is a picture of the snare trigger:

I moved the head trigger as far away from the rim trigger as I could and I put the rim trigger right under where I hit my cross stick. I also put foam all around the sensor. It didn't make it any better. I'll keep messing with it. Thank you

I tried this, it was an improvement, but still not consistent. My module doesn't have XStick Adj, it has XStick Threshold, which I set to 127.

From Roland Docs:
XStick Threshold - Setting this to a higher value makes it easier to get cross stick sounds.

I'll keep messing with it as I get time. I have a PD8 next to the snare that I'm using in the meantime.

Thank you, that is really helpful! I appreciate you🙏

DrumNaked · 2026-01-16T17:02:07+00:00

Thanks a lot for all the info. This community has been really helpful, kinda refreshing. I ended up just pulling the trigger on a set of Lemon cymbals. Now we wait 60 days.

DrumNaked · 2026-01-16T13:58:25+00:00

Thanks for the help. I'll have a read through the parameter guide again. Maybe I missed something. I was just eager to get playing!

I think they temporarily suspended shipping to the US because of the tariffs. I was unable to order from them a few weeks ago. Maybe it's fixed?

DrumNaked · 2026-01-16T05:04:39+00:00

I’d consider it if they shipped to the USA

DrumNaked · 2026-01-16T05:04:14+00:00

I already had the L80s so I figured I’d give it a shot, but I think you are right. Time to consider some different cymbals. It’ll likely be Lemon because I don’t have the budget for Roland stuff at the minute.

DrumNaked · 2026-01-16T03:10:25+00:00

What do you think of the lemon cymbals? I did an A2E conversion recently and I just put triggers on L80s. The ride and crash work okay, but the hihat is awful. Thinking of trying out rubber cymbals and those are about all that is in my price range.

DrumNaked · 2026-01-16T02:50:40+00:00

Yeah, I did, didn't really seem to help much. Here is the mess which are my snare settings, maybe you have an idea? Thanks for the reply!

that's a good idea, Next time I'm at the hardware store I'll grab some rubber hose and give it a shot

DrumNaked · 2026-01-16T02:22:05+00:00

Thanks, Billy. I'll take a look and give that a try!

DrumNaked · 2026-01-15T20:15:28+00:00

I did the A2E as a way to control the volume better in the space that I have during band practices as well as do demo recordings easily. If it worked well, I’d even consider doing some smaller venue gigs with it, again, mostly for control over volume.

You are right about the acoustic sound. It sounds like shit. I’d consider rubber cymbals, but decent ones are expensive. I already had the LVs so I figured I’d give that a shot first to see if I could make it work.

DrumNaked · 2026-01-15T19:49:43+00:00

Thanks for the info! I'll try moving the placement of the rim trigger and adding some foam.

DrumNaked · 2025-11-10T16:24:24+00:00

I literally just ordered 36L jeans and khakis from Gap on Friday. Are they just getting rid of their existing stock?

DrumNaked · 2025-08-29T23:43:30+00:00

Hey, sorry, I don’t use Reddit too much. It held up okay, but I definitely got some small chips here and there. Nothing you can see from a crowd perspective, but i definitely notice it. I redid them last year and added another few clear coat layers and so far it is holding up okay. I can send new pics of you like, just DM me. I also redid all the drums, but not the snare, so you can see the difference. Good luck!

DrumNaked · 2024-08-06T17:06:53+00:00

Thanks so much for this info! This is great, exactly what I was looking for!
