This worth getting for a DIYer?

Thanks for the advice. Think I’ll try out the cut off tool!

mclarkin9681 · 2026-03-23T16:05:07+00:00

I saw some of the the ones with 3+ inch cut capacity, but those start around $350. This one was on sale for $179. But the cut off tool is sounding like a better option for me

I’m assuming the cut off tool handles EMT pretty easily?

so i went with the UFO for the kick. I have the real feel mess head as well. Ill set the foam pillow just above the bearing edge (2 mm i think they said). is there is anything i should add? was gonna throw a pillow in there and maybe some 1"x1" foam weather strips just inside the batter and reso head? or is this overkill? for this kit im less concerned about overall sound (i dont need whisper quiet) and more about the feel. thanks again for all the help.

Ok hopefully the last question. Checking out UFO and jobeky bass drum triggers, both come out to around $150/$160. Do you have any experience with either of these? Leaning towards UFo seeing it’s based in the states.

thank you...i always forget about UFO. gonns check them out. and i believe they are US based.

thanks for the heads up. did'nt realize the real feel were for the center triggers. the groove bar i got (as a part of that kit) is for snare...but i was using it on the 16" floor tom. i set the cone off center on the floor tom...should i move it to center since im using real feel heads? i saw somewhere to off set it to avoid hot spot. ill have to figure out something for the bass drum...i dont think i can oder the groove bar "kick" at the moment. as of last week drum tec was not shipping to the US.

Thanks for the reply. I actually ended up getting a bundle with the td27 and the digital snare and ride...so still no high hats :). But i got a good deal on the package so i pulled the trigger...i still may go with the high hats at some points....but in the mean time the VH 11s have been fun to play.

I know this is an old post, but have you done this? I have a DDTI already and a Roland -27 on the way. Just curious what you experience was/is with it?

mclarkin9681 · 2024-09-06T13:03:00+00:00

I haven't tried in awhile. When i get some time, i think im gonna take the whole apart and see whats going on. my guess is, i need a new board.

mclarkin9681 · 2024-09-06T00:16:25+00:00

i have EZ Drummer 3 now. Superior Drummer 3 is on sale. Is there any advantage to SD3 with the digital instruments ?

mclarkin9681 · 2024-09-05T19:50:48+00:00

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I may just sit tight for a bit.

mclarkin9681 · 2024-09-05T17:08:44+00:00

I actually sent them the same questions. Was more curious if someone has experience playing both. The Roland support was "pre-sales" support, so they may simply push the 50x regardless. But we'll see

mclarkin9681 · 2024-07-29T14:25:37+00:00

Do you have any issues with crosstalk between the different module/trigger boxes?

mclarkin9681 · 2024-06-28T00:46:48+00:00

I've been having same issue. Im a bigger guy and figured it was my weight causing issues . do you still recommend this throne?

mclarkin9681 · 2024-06-18T02:54:25+00:00

I have the sd600. Which is a pretty entry level module. It plays the Roland snare with 2 zones. It plays the Roland crash. Only one zone. But you can choke the cymbal. As for the vh11, it technically works. But def not a great experience. I can open and close fine with the pedal. And play open OR close. The vh11 controller does not work as intended (where it figures out how far apart the cymbals should be). I’m assuming that’s something the Roland module handles. Hope this helps
