I’m a metal drummer and just getting my first pair of triggers, specifically footblasters. I have the equipment I need to record them into my DAW, but I am unaware of the type of amp I would need to play with them casually/in a live situation. I have heard that some amps cannot handle the clickiness or low end of triggers as well. Any input on a preferably budget option that can handle triggers would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on vacation right now visiting some family and friends so I had the opportunity to get together with an old band mate and jam at his house. He had an old Roland td11 that was worse for wear, the...

Not quite the shootout between the two that the title suggests but more my observations having just bought a TD-17 after owning a DTX6 for three years (I moved to a different country for my job and sold all my old gear to local musicians as with a 100% import tax in Pakistan they can't get hold of much).
Initial impression is that from a tactile perspective the Roland is hard where the Yamaha is squishy. The best example of this is the bass drum pad. The Yamaha is...

Wow! I haven't been here in a while. But I've got a pressing problem that needs some pro attention.

My TD-12 hi-hat sounds like it's cross-talking with my floor tom, but it's only when opening the foot pedal. When I open the foot pedal, it makes a tom hit at each phase (so around 4 - 6 times). This obviously needs cleared up, and since I've been googling this for 3 hours, I figured I'd try here.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide!!

My post is mainly directed at a debacle I'm having. I've got a beatiful kit that I love that I've spent many a year doing up adding to etc. But I think it may have come to the point were I may need to sell it and buy an electronic one. I know if I was to sell it I'd regret it because an electric one doesn't look as good and potenitally may feel a bit of a let down in...

It's really quiet. But also feels totally weird. It was definitely less bouncy than normal mesh, with some foam under. The play area is rather small, especially on the cymbal, which itself is already small. The edge is a little louder, and...
