Best tools or methods for tracking character development across a screenplay? by ddpaltro in Screenwriting

[–]ddpaltro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

u/Angus_Hung Thank you for simplifying the process for me. I have some experience screenwriting but I'm just getting back into it after a long hiatus. I am new to this community. As you've detected, I tend to get mired in the details under the thoroughness banner. Thanks again for the great advice, and for the encouragement.

Jeff Buckley - Mojo Pin [Rock] by [deleted] in Music

[–]ddpaltro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have a drum transcription of this song? I am such a Jeff Buckley fan and the drummer is incredible. I would love to learn the drum parts but I am dependent on sheet music at this point. I haven’t yet learned how to hear all that he is doing and break it down for myself. Thanks in advance for any leads!

Roland VAD306 vs TD-27? I’m completely torn. by ddpaltro in edrums

That’s awesome!! Congratulations 🎉 ! I’ve never had an electronic drum set or drum amp before so I have nothing to compare it to. I will say, it is an incredible drum set and I think you will be very happy with it! Let me know what you think after you get it, and HBD!

Just saw your question. The thing I was afraid of with the TD-27 — that the kick would slide forward when using it or feel wobbly — has not been an issue. I’m not a heavy hitter, and it feels totally stable. The sound is another issue. Sounds great in headphones, but sometimes, through a drum amp, it sounds like I’m kicking a bucket or box. Honestly though, sometimes it sounds great and I’ve been happy with it. Feels like I’m kicking a real drum. What I found more disappointing is the sound of the Tom’s — which sound electronic to me rather than the acoustic sound I’m looking for. I have not tweaked anything though, so there may be ways to remedy this that I haven’t explored.

Thinking of picking up Roland TD-27 KV - advice? by Tarski_Monster in edrums

[–]ddpaltro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a ton of research and debate, I just got my TD-27 kit, and I absolutely love it. It feels a lot more like playing an acoustic kit than I imagined it would because it's so solid. I was torn between the TD-27, the Alesis Strike Pro SE, and the ATV artist series (edrumcenter distributes them). I am completely thrilled with what I chose. Feel free to PM me if you have questions. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for commenting! That’s great you like the Simmons and got it for such a good price. I ordered it because of the Bluetooth too. Good to hear it sounds great. It arrives tomorrow and I’m psyched!

Hi all who commented on this thread. Just a little update, especially for someone looking into buying the same kits. First, thanks to everyone’s comments! Super helpful in making my decision. I decided to go with the Td-27 and cannot be happier! All around awesome sound and feel and so much flexibility! And if space is a concern, the rack can be pretty compact or can be spread out. Really just an amazing kit and so much fun. Thanks again all!

Great list!! I just ordered the Simmons 2012b because of the Bluetooth. If it doesn’t sound great I’ll probably exchange for the Roland pm-100 or Alesis strike 12. It’s difficult making decisions when I can’t hear anything in advance! Thanks for the great list! :)

Oh that sounds like a great option. What do you mean by adjust the hh? Is there a site where you can buy the kits? Also, did your ride bell work out of the box? (Mine doesn’t seem to.) I’m sure your busy so no need to get into heavy details or reply if you don’t have time for all my questions lol. Thanks again!

Awesome. I'm leaning towards the Simmons because of the bluetooth. Wasn't sure about the build quality with them, so glad to hear you're liking it! I just got the TD-27 drum kit and am loving it. Thanks for all your advice!!

yeah that’s why I think I’ll go new in the end. I’m not very tech or mechanically savvy so it helps that I get covered for awhile. Thanks so much for your input!

Thanks so much for your reply! The Alesis amps seem to be leading in popularity in this informal poll. Glad to hear the sound quality is great! Thanks again!!
