A
New Electronic Drum Kit For A New
Age
Are you in
the computer age or still stuck
in the acoustic music times? Some
may call me silly, but there are
some things that just aren’t
right. You might call someone
like me a music purist, though
I’m not even really sure
what that means.
What I do
know is that there are some
things that are good in music,
but you don’t replace them
no matter how great the
technology might be. If you hear
a band with an electronic drum
set, I just can’t get into
it. The natural sound just
isn’t there.
Original
VS Electronic Drum
Sets
There is
just something about the sound of
a real drum kit that an
electronic drum set just
can’t produce. You might
think you can’t tell the
difference, and in some cases you
can’t, but there are times
when the difference is glaringly
obvious, at least for me.
I believe I
am partial to the old drum kits
because nothing is perfect, and
as far as I am concerned, there
should be nothing perfect about
drumming. The electronic drum set
is just too exact and there
isn’t room for the error
that should be there.
Why Do
Some Musicians Love The
Electronic Drum Set?
I can
understand why some people might
want to use an electronic drum
set.
It helps to
make sure things sound good all
of the time, and it cuts down On
some of the mistakes a drummer
might make. The problem I have is
that it seems to cut out some of
the personality of that drummer.
Each
drummer, no matter how great they
might be, has a few flaws that
appear in their playing. As far
as I am concerned, this is what
makes them a good drummer. If
they are put on an electronicdrum
set, they just lose a little
something that they had going for
them.
Whether
Or Not To Use Electronic Drum
Sets Is Your Personal
Decision
If you want
to use one though, there is no
reason why you can’t. Some
styles of music work well with an
electronic drum set. If that is
the sound you want, then you
should go for it.
Where To
Find A Set Of Electronic Drums
And How Much?
You can
find them almost anywhere you buy
music, and you can probably find
one made by almost any company
that makes drums.
What you
will pay for a set of electronic
drums will depend on where you
buy them. Just remember that even
though you may not have to buy
drumheads for it, you will have
more repair costs associated with
owning and playing them.
They are
also easier to work with and move
around, but remember that some
people like me that just
don’t like to listen to
them. But, as with all music,
it's relative and everyone has an
opinion about percussion
instruments, right?
