Nice! I love the look of that graphic head. How quiet are those cymbals and heads? Always wondered about them.Comment

They are definitely much quieter than regular drums/cymbals. The L80s have a real "tin-y" sound to them and some sizes are more pleasing than others. The china I have isn't good. I feel like it has way more sustain than it should for a china. It sounds like a grandfather clock chime. The SilentStroke heads have a dull thud to them and have the feel of mesh heads from e-drums. Many don't like them but they do the job for quiet practice. If you want to spend the extra money, Drum-Tec makes silent silent heads that have the feel of real heads. It would run about $180 to replace all my heads for the Drum-Tec set. I've thought about it but haven't pulled the trigger.
Agean also makes low volume cymbals and they sound the best in terms of acting like real cymbals:
I think they're louder than L80s but I'm not sure how much. They're also more expensive but damn, they sound much better..Comment

Hm, good to know. Luckily my neighbors don't really complain so I'm good to stay loud, but I'd love an option to be able to play late nights without bothering everyone.Comment

Here’s a crappy GoPro video I made practicing rudiments:
I’d like to do some recording of them in addition to practice but the SS / L80 combo has been a pain trying to record. I’ve tried to follow the guidance from various YT videos about recording drums but low volume set ups seem to be a different beast.Comment

The quality of my kit far surpasses the quality of my skills. But I can at least have fun, and hammer out some ideas. For anything I release, I always end up programming them.

Not actually my drum kit, the shells are one of my drummers spare kits (except the snare which is a cheap as fuck one I had laying about) but I got all the electronic components and mesh heads so we can practice quietly when we're working on new stuff, I do keep meaning to learn how to play it but finding the time can be an issue. I'll get round to it eventually... maybe...

Do I see this right, or do you have your hi-hat centered with cable?
Because this is something I've throught about myself for a good while.
At this moment I have a regular hi-hat and a semi-closed hi-hat on my left side like this.
I would love to try that, but a cable hihat is a big investment.
And I also have my custom snare from 101 Drums

Amazing! Something I really want to try.
I could at least setup my extra hihat centre just to feel how it would be even if I can't control it.
I will do that soon.exciting!!
