Hi, I was wondering Which you guys preferred. Electric drums, or acoustic drums for recording? And Why? I'm Unsure to go with drum mics for my set, or an electric set for no distortion. I've mostly seen people with acoustic sets, I assumed it was for more real drum sound. I figured with an electric drum set i wouldn't have to worry about distortion/bass trapping. Which do you prefer?
Get yourself some piezo buzzers from radio shack and fasten 'em to your drum shells. Bam! Real skins with accurate triggering for like $5 a pop. I've done that many times with great results.To me it's performance. I'm not talking samplers, but pads. They have no feel. I'm not a drummer but did get a Yamaha multipad to fart around with. There's no feel, like hammering into a pillow. Lots of performance is based on the spring of the head
Nothing beats a great sounding kit. Even an OK sounding kit to me, is preferable.
