drum module

[pumpkin]

hi
I have a Trition, but I don't really like the drum sound
and it really bothers me

I have to admit that I haven't fully mastered its full funtion, so does anyone think that if I change the parameter a bit, it'll sound better?
(I tired a bit, but didn't like it)

Can anyone using Trition share some tips with me?

Also, if I want to get a drum module, what's your recommendation? What's the best?

(just for preference:
I like BECK, SNEAKER PIMPS)

The Roland TD-10 is the best drum module to date... It's amazing...and I mean AMAZING! especially w/ the expansion card. I strongly recommend it.
Good Luck

I would agree that the roland units are the best sounding drum modules, but they are also by far the most expensive. The Alesis modules are very good too. I have a D4 which is nice, and have used the DM5. I like the D4 sounds better though. More usable sounds. You can pick them up for under $200 on ebay. The roland modules do offer much better adjustment of the tones and parameters, but i guess it comes down to what you are using it for. Is it for mainly live playing or recording?

Thanks for the reply

I just searched the net for TD-10, and it was just too expensive
I also noticed that it comes with many features, like "Built-in 8-track sequencer"
, which I don't really need.

One thing I need to point out is that I'm not a drummer and something too complicated would probably get in the way of my creative flow
I just want something sound alive and cool
I don't need too many features but only the quality of its sound (the best!! The sound is all matters to me!!)
I would consider it if the sound is really good, but I couldn't find a sample to listen to.

Do you think that there's anything else that is cheaper but also sound as good as TD-10? Or do you think that if I want to make real music, TD-10 has to be it? Please let me know what you think

Thanks for your suggestion

Less than $200 would be something that I can afford, I'm going to check it out after this posting

To answer your question, I'm using it mainly for recording at home
And, like I mentioned above, I don't need a fancy one, but just one with real good sound
What do you think?
Do you think that Alesis will do?
Do you know where I can listen to the sample?

I've been happy with my boss DR202, which I bought a while ago, there is now a Dr770

see:

I reckon the sounds are pretty good and it may be in your price range?

Try the Triton's combi section....there you should find a couple og great sounding drum kits.
"Velo Kit" is one of them...

TD 10 is a great sounding drum module without a doubt.

I've combined the two (Triton & TD 10) several times with a GREAT result.

Play around with 'em, oh yeah and remove all effects in the Triton before toying around, it gives you a better view of what sounds like crap, and where the gold lies.

Have fun !

Thanks everyone
I think I'll now take a closer look (listen) at what I have first
and yes, InHouse, thank you for your suggestion
I wonder how I didn't think about that before
It might be better for me to turn off all the default effects first
It sounds more fun this way

Thank you all

I know the feeling, somtimes you can't figure out the simple things, it's called:

STOP DRINKING COFFEE AND GET SOME SLEEP !

Good luck !
