for drummers, how do you compare electric drumsets to acoustic drumsets/ their sound, ease to set up, etc.....

Question

I have a Ludwig 5 piece drumset at home but am made to use an electric at church so they can control how loud it is

Answer 1

electric drumkits are bollocks, they are extremely delicate fake pieces of crap, never ever gig with them. DISASTER trust me. Ludwig are brilliant kits !!!!!!! electric kits are horrific to set up, you need amps and leads and all that sh*t. acoustic kits are reliable.and they sound much better.electric kits are fake

you spend £600 on an electric kit and the thing cuts out half way through a gig.that wouldn't of happened if i had an acoustic kit.

Answer 2

Yeah man, electric sets are garbage.

The cheap ones sound so bad and fake (like, 1970's/80's MIDI sounds), and the expensive ones (which are reeeaally expensive) still sound fake, but just have better touch-pad reflex and feel (as the guy somewhere above me said, the real "sound" control is all in the box you have with the pads). Neither of the two "feel" like actually playing drums. You might as well buy a drum machine, program it with a beat, hit play, and then step to the side while the guitarists and bassist jam if you're going to buy an electric set.

Go acoustic. They sound/feel/respond better, and it's so much more entertaining to watch. Plus, for the price of a medium-level electric set you can get a super bad-**** acoustic set.

I'd say that they take equal time to set up, all things said and done...

...basically, practice and get good at home on your acoustic set-up. If your good on that, playing a crappy electric set will be easy as pie. But ALWAYS do your serious practicing on the real set at your house.

Answer 3

I am very good friends with a professional drummer who has both kinds (electronic and a normal drumset). I have listened to some of the higher-end drum machines and they sound amazing!

It's not the pads that are the key to good sound (he has tried tubes, pads, sticks; it makes no difference) -- it is the electronics box that makes or breaks a good sounding electronic drum. If your church has a good quality drum machine, then you should be set. My friend has a Yamaha, but I don't know the model number.


To the answerer above with the joke -- I've heard that one before, but it was still good for a laugh!

Answer 4

i could say while you're desirous to play wide-unfold song, choose for acoustic. electric powered drum contraptions are generally linked with electronica song and song which desires digital uncomplicated beats. You get extra freedom to do as you like on an acoustic drum kit. Plus it is not pre-recorded.

Answer 5

What do you call the guy that hangs out with musicians??

The drummer!!!!!
