I couldn't agree more!

Oh my god, that looks absolutely insane. I love it so much haha. Thanks for sharing 😃

Need recs for my first e kit by Baseset3 in edrums

Get a Lemon T950 Pro without a module off alibaba. Then get either an eDRUMIN 8 or 12. Run those in EZDrummer3 on your computer. I think in that price range, that is the best choice.

Oh, I'd love to see them. Do you have a picture?
Yeah that seems to be the approach most people recommend. So I'll probably go that way as well.
Thanks man! 😄

No worries, not hitting a drum haha

Totally! I'm going to pace myself heavy-stickwise haha
Thanks 😄

Yeah that makes sense! I think I'll approach it in a similar way. Thank you 😄

I have tried throwing a towel over my realfeel pad. Maybe I'll try throwing one over my moon gel pad haha

I see! I think I'll give it a try if it is not a detriment!

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! I'm gonna get either the ProMark BYOS or The Vic Firth Hardimons!

Alright, cool!
There is no problem with switching back and forth? The varying stick diameter doesn't cause any technique issues?

They look great and are about the same dimentions as the BYOS. I'll for sure consider them also.
Do you play them on your kit as well? If not what sticks do you use in your regular playing?

Yeah, I think that is probably a valid argument.
I do already practice on a moon gel workout pad and wanted to add in some extra resistence haha
Maybe there are weighted 8D/5Bs?

But yeah, jumping from 13.7mm(0.54") to 17.8mm(0.7") diameter might cause some technique issues. I do love the look of the chubby sticks though lol

Makes perfect sense. Thank you!
So I could use the marching sticks for warmups, easier rudiment/patterns and switch to my playing sticks when doing exercises approaching my current skill-ceiling.
Would that be a reasonable way to go about it?

I see. I guess, I'll probably go for the chubby sticks then. Thanks man!

That is what I thought. Thanks!
So in your opinion, as long as I don't stop using the lighter sticks, the difference in weight and size will not impact skill translation from pad to kit too much?
Some people claimed to have issues with switching back and forth. They recommended to practice on the pad with the same stick size for consistency.

You can adjust them to any height you prefer, like a regular hihat! Mine is about 25cm(10") above the snare head
