The thing I notice is that the grace notes are much louder, the kit doesn't seem to have the same responsiveness and range that you get from an acoustic kit. But if anyone can make it sound good on Digital drums Ulysses Owens Jr is the one. Took my 14 year old son (who is just learning the drums) to see him at Columbia U a few weeks ago. When Ulysses walked on stage and started playing, my son's eyes got as big as saucers. I don't think he will ever forget his first time seeing a master play up close.

It is vital to adjust each padā€™s sensitivity to maximize the dynamic range (1-127). I have adjusted friendā€™s kits and there is a real difference once done.

Happy to see some videos and positive comments on e-kits. Out of necessity, I carefully converted my 25-year old Yamaha birch kit to a hybrid set up using some internal bridge triggers and EF Note cymbals all going to a Pearl Mimic. This was before I knew Iā€™d try the same set up with recording. Getting the trigger settings just right can be a pain but worth it to be able to record some songs late at night without waking up the rest of the house. It also saves whatā€™s remaining of my hearing. Already have six releases completed with this setup and itā€™s fantastic. Not gonna lie, brushes would be nice. šŸ˜Š

I remember Ulysses coming to Vitoria's jazz festival with the Juiliard's teachers. I remember he came as student with the master Carl Allen and I can remember he taught us some hand exercises on a pad. Not only his touch was amazing, but his driving swing with the ride cymbal was incredible as well. He can move a mountain only with his right hand. And he can do Over an acoustic, electronic set or over a table!!!!

Amazing video and discussion. I think my favorite thing about Ulysses playing is how intentional everything is. Every stroke and roll and cymbal hit is exactly where he wants it to be and you can really hear it. Thank you, Drumeo and Ulysses!

I'm a proponent of E-Drums. I do most all my drum cover videos on E-Drums. The way he's able to play musically and dynamically on an E-kit is amazing. Great job!

I guess it's a bit "uncanny valley," very close, but not quite, to an acoustic sound. You can hear that it's e-kit if you listen in close. Cymbals and snare are the give-aways. That being said, it seems like a perfectly okay practice tool. I think Ulysses made a good point, that it's probably better to develop your hands and ears on an acoustic kit before moving to the e-drums.

Ulysses is such a treasure! Really grateful for his enthusiasm and energy. Also, thanks for the acknowledgement that some (a lot?) of us who just want to jam and have fun, and not necessarily devote our lives to the instrument for whatever reason. I thought I wanted to become a professional when I was young, but found it wasn't for me. I have no regrets of giving up that dream, but still enjoy playing. E-drums have made it possible for me since 1999 or so when I got my Roland TD-10K! Now I've got a TD-27KV2, and absolutely love it. No worries about annoying the family or neighbors! And I still have acoustics in the closet if the need arises, and I bring it out occasionally to keep my hand in. Cheers!

It can be done. And very nicely too. Equipment has gotten so much better. Nice job.

E-kits can sound pretty amazing if you spend some time electronically tuning them, creating your own kits, and/or using things like EZ Drummer where pros have done a ton of work recording and tweaking kits for us (and we can still tweak them to our liking more). None of the ones Iā€™ve played yet feel like an acoustic or really react dynamically quite like an acoustic, but you can change sounds so quickly on the fly, record much more easily, tear-down and set-up more quickly and easily in a small space, control volume better, add effects easier, the list goes onā€¦ Theyā€™re both amazing instruments. Iā€™m lucky and happy to share a studio with my friend and band mate (between us, we have an acoustic and an e-kit among other gear and itā€™s a blast)! I will say, Iā€™m getting more and more interested in creating a hybrid kit to get the best of both worlds and be able to switch between e-sounds and acoustic on the fly, and combine my love of synthesis and sound design with my love for drumming. šŸ˜Š

I mean, that looks like an expensive drums so yeah, dynamics is good. But for low to midrange ones, I guess, it'll be a different story. I may be wrong though.
