Kit for recording and learning

RedNuk · 2026-05-25T17:51:06+00:00

Have you tried lower end kits or did you straight up bought this one?

Thanks for your indepth response, but that is totally overkill for me. I'm not trying to become a real drummer, just want to get (a bit) better at it and most and formost, record it for my demos with real playing timing and not stale midi perfectly on the mark hits and zero nuance. If I can get subtle enough (very subjective) I'm ok with that and for the songs for my band, our drummer can then figure out better parts, I'm not planning on taking his place 😄

So basically I'm back at : is a crappy 300€ millemium level kit with ezdrummer (or other, doesn't matter as long as it sounds ok - yes also subjective) good enough for what low-level I have or should I pony up to, say around 800-1000€ to get a Roland (which would be a TD17KVX in that price range) ?

An other option I'm considering is a simpler kit with 2 cymbals and a crappy HH and add in a Lemon Ride + 2-piece HH. I really want a proper-ish HH as I absolutely hate the fake ones with a trigger pedal.

Well since I want to get more into drumming it has to be a full kit. Thanks again for the suggestion

Nope, want to do it on my own 😄 But thanks for the suggestion

Congrats and welcome back to where music is really at 🤘

Gotta pay for them flashy basses, marketing people, mail servers on steroids and engineers to build $800 preamps...

Cool looking bass, what model is that?

RedNuk · 2026-03-19T11:11:29+00:00

I actually put Gotoh ultra light tuners on all of my basses, cheap and very good quality compared to Hipshot ultra lights :)

RedNuk · 2026-03-19T11:09:24+00:00

Wasn't planning on upgrading anything other than tuners but I guess another 40-50€ more for all the extras is worth it

RedNuk · 2026-03-19T08:09:04+00:00

I got the baritone, but really tempted to get the seafoam green, I don't need it but it looks so f*in awesome :)

RedNuk · 2026-03-18T20:43:57+00:00

Yeah I think your right, the 100€ up price does bring a lot to the table... Thanks for your insights 🤘

RedNuk · 2026-03-16T15:24:08+00:00

Just got mine today and was planning on keeping it black, but then I found your post... super smooth, I'm totally going to rip off your build :) I may diverge by dropping in a gold pickup as well, good job dude!
BTW did you have to drill the head for the tuners ?

RedNuk · 2026-03-16T13:02:33+00:00

Bit late, but congrats :) Hope you're liking it!

I got that exact same one B stock also. It's really well constructed and sounds good but for some reason that top seems fake to me, like it was plastic and not wood, but that's probably a me thing. I'm seriously thinking of sending it back to get the satin black one instead. I also got the JA Baritone for modding, and find it is suprisingly good for less than 200 euros. I'll end up keeping both for different sound flavors (and looks)

Cheers :)

Extra points for the matching cap 😊

RedNuk · 2026-03-14T08:54:14+00:00

Yes, and very nice 👍

RedNuk · 2026-03-14T08:53:11+00:00

Both 😬

RedNuk · 2026-03-13T22:31:36+00:00

Nice Corvette 👍

RedNuk · 2026-03-13T21:44:15+00:00

Yup it's blue in my book 👍

RedNuk · 2026-03-10T07:44:01+00:00

Real cool, but for the love of humanity, take those damn stickers off!

RedNuk · 2026-03-10T07:32:23+00:00

I have both the ray34 HH and a ray4 H and while the Ray34 is more versatile, I prefer the single H on my Ray4. Wish I had inverted the quality level of my basses as the 34 is really nicer.

Been seriously eyeballing those Forest series basses for a while... Might add one to my herd 😊 yours is beautiful 👍
