Well here's something i made earlier - my own custom V-Drums - I have spent a year building and tweaking this lot, but very happy with the result! 
 The module is a Roland TD-12, and using VEXpressions software i have a choice of around 600 different drum kits to choose from, all the classic kits are there; Ludwigs, Pearls, Premiers, Mapexes, Tamas, Craviottos, Gretsches, Ayottes, and signature kits like Bonham, Moon, Paice, Peart etc.. All the drums and cymbals can be tweaked; metal, brass or wood snare, drum sizes, miking , tuning, cymbal sizes, sizzle options, the Mackie mixer can adjust reverb/room size, all played through headphones or a Mackie 250watt PA system including twoJBL 15" PA speaker cabinets. The rims have been mounted with rubber brake pipe, triggered separately to produce authentic rim shot sounds, especially on the snare!
Cymbals are stock Roland 12",14" crash and 15" ride (bow, bell and edge) mounted on a chrome frame, 12" fully functional hi-hat, drums (two 10", two 12", 15" snare, 22" bass) are an old CB set i triggered up using cross member mountings and Piezo/cone triggers - including the bass drum, with Mapex stool, hihat stand and twin drum pedals, and mapex cymbal stands and snare stands. Also i have added a Roland SPD-S sampling pad for effects including cowbells etc, you name it!
 The silent drum heads are Roland mesh heads, the durable material developed by NASA , a pair of sticks will last indefinitely on this surface, which is less abrasive than conventional heads.. The overall sound is sharp, clear with low bass, and sounds great through the PA or routed into the PC sound card, so I can practice anytime i like without waking half the neighbourhood.

| My drumset is a weathered late-60s Ludwig 18"x24" kick + 13" and 16" toms in blue sparkle wrap with a 5.5x14 Acrosonic snare. I usually just play this 4-piece kit, but I have some other drums in the same finish (12" & 14" toms, 14x20" kick) if I want to mix things up. Cymbals: mostly beat-up Zildjians (14" hats, 16"/18" crashes, 21" ride, 20" K dry ride) and a few Paistes (20" chinese, assorted splashes, cup chimes and machined hi-hat "effect" cymbals) that I rotate around depending on my mood and what sort of stuff I'm playing. Pearl double pedal, assorted hardware, Promark 5A (round tip) sticks and various mallets, brushes, and other striking implements. Lots of miscellaneous hand drums, tambourines, shakers, and other odds and ends not really worth cataloging here. |

Beautiful, beautiful equipment, sir. I'm a guitarist, myself, but have always loved the look and feel of drums. This made me salivate.
 Exactly how much are V Drums running these days price-wise? And what program has the most variety of kits available? I've always wanted to give these things a try, but always heard they were either too expensive and/or inferior to actual acoustic drums.

^^ they are not cheap, extra kits can be downloaded from VEXpressions.com for about £20 for a group of 25 kits, the TD-12 module is around £600/700 atm. look out for used bargains on Ebay

expensive? yes, nothing good comes cheap
inferior to acoustic drums? definitely not - many pros are using V-Drums these days, just ask Neil Peart...
i have owned an acoustic kit, but it shook the house, and i don't think the neighbours were too impressed  ------------- Prog Archives Tour Van

I have a great invisible air-drum kit - in the unlikely event of a trans-dimensional shift causing the kit to become visible to the untrained eye, it would look like this:
One reason it has to stay invisible is some Canadian guy nicked & copyrighted my personalised image from the front of the kick drums  -------------

I'm an idiot, but . . . if I would use that program, would I absolutely have to use a physical pad of some sort to play the rhythms like the guy is doing in the demo, or could I just do the beats on the computer.
Or am I looking for something else like EZ Drummer?

^ Ableton Session Drums is simply a software instrument which uses sampled drum sounds ... you can use it with any MIDI instrument you like. It's not a complete solution for creating drum tracks ... you still have to play them yourself (it doesn't generate beats or anything like that). @hawkcwg: What you see in the video may look a bit complicated - but it's really not. It's the common interface of Ableton Live ... the advantage is that all the instruments, effects etc. use the same interface, so you only have to learn it once.  |

This is a rather old picture of my kit that has sadly been gathering dust the last 8 years 
It's Slingerland by the way.

Mine is an old Pearl kit. 9 pcs, but I only use one bass, with a double pedal. Not really sure if I like it either. I just recently replaced all 9 top heads, and all 4 cymbals, so its ready to take a beating.

This is my gig kit. The brand is Po' Boy, a start up company from Colorado. I'm an endorser. It's a birch and maple hybrid, natural finish, 8, 10,12, 14, and 16" toms; 20 x 18" bass drum; 14 x 5.5 " snare; double kick pedal; Zildjian, Meinl, and Po' Boy Cymbals. I usually add a 13 x 3" picolo snare and a pedal with a jam block on the left.
 This is my other kit. It's a 1967 Ludwig with a 13" tom (rail consolette mount), 16" floor tom, 22" bass drum, and a 14" metal concert snare. Pictured here is my 13" picolo auxi snare. -------------

Ahhhh,,,I forgot my snare drums...
1) Ludwig Hammerred Bronze 5x14 w/tube lugs and diecast hoops and 1) Ludwig Chrome over brass 5x14 w/ tube lugs and diecast hoops.
When you play a Ludwig snare, you'll see why you don't ever need anyother manufacturers.
Peace out! ------------- Deafmoon |
