Thanks Mike! I haven't forgot about you...Progressive Foundry SDX performance videos are on the way!

+DrumAngleOfficial no need to hurry, my friend. I've already used the SDX on some of my covers, so I know how great they sound. However, would love to hear and see you using them.

Thank you!

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thanks, appreciate it!

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!

Thank you!

Thank you! Appreciate it! Be sure to check the video notes, it was arranged by Spencer Hansen, who I do many of my collaboration with on this channel.

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yep, tried to keep it simple in this one. I love this arrangement and I didn't want to get in the way with busy drumming. We'll do more covers where I'll play out a bit more, but sometimes you just have to serve the music.

Thank you sir!

Thank you! More covers to come, some with simpler and some with busier drumming as well so stay tuned!

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement, I appreciate it!

Thanks! This is Spencer Hansen on vocals. I've been playing music with him for over 15 years...very talented! This is an arrangement that we perform live in one of our bands (www.FormerlyThree.com) and we thought it would be a good song to release.

They feel and trigger just fine. I just purchased Jobeky's new Dark Bronze cymbals, which are a little heavier so I like the feel of them even better! A two-piece trigger would be fantastic, but I'm perfectly happy with the 1-piece hi-hat.

I'll see what I can do! I'm planning on doing a review of these cymbals, but an actual tutorial to dial them in is a great idea. As for my settings, I had to re-tweak everything on my TD30 for the Jobeky cymbals, but that's not uncommon when changing any trigger. As for the hi-hat, I would suggest 2 things: First, have you checked out the Mask Time, Re-trigger Cancel and Threshold settings for your hi-hat on the TD30? These can all work together to eliminate any false triggering. Mine are set to the following: Mask Time: 9 - Re-trigger Cancel: 4 - Threshold: 5 - . Also, since this is a VH11 style controller and you only have the top hi-hat cymbal, I used a wide washer underneath and really cranked it down to eliminate as much motion as I could when I hit the cymbal. Otherwise there's a bit of give then you hit it, which may contribute to false triggering as well. Hope this helps! Also, if you think of any other ideas for tutorials, please let me know!

That's a great idea guys

+DrumAngleOfficial Thanks, that helped tremendously! My hats were way too loose.

Glad to hear!

This would most likely have to do with your drum module. I'm using a Roland TD-30 and make sure the Hi-Hat Offset settings are correctly set up. Then I choose the correct module mapping from within EZdrummer or Superior Drummer to make sure it's mapped correctly for use in Toontrack's software. So you'll want to make sure your hi-hat CC Offset is calibrated correctly for your drum module.

I really like them. I spent a lot of time with the Field cymbals, and also using other cymbals as well. I did like the Field, but there were a few glaring things that I didn't like about them: They were REALLY heavy, unbalanced (very front heavy) and I could never get the choke function to work that well. Also there was some issues getting the bow and bell articulations on the ride to work properly. Again, this was with the FIELD cymbals. I tried out the Jobeky cymbals and really liked them right off the bat. They're lighter, which for me I really liked. They felt more like I was hitting an actual cymbal and not like I'm hitting a table. They're much better balanced, which you can actually see in the video when I hit them, they swivel like a real cymbal would, whereas the Field cymbals wouldn't. Although there's always work when dialing in any trigger, I felt like I was able to dial these Jobeky cymbals in quicker than my Field cymbals. This ride is also a 3 zone and works well. The choke function works great on these Jobeky's and you can choke ANY cymbal from ANYWHERE on the cymbal. Lastly, the hi-hat works great as well, although I do miss the 2-piece hi-hat trigger like Field had. Field cymbals also had a bit more of a bronze looking alloy while the Jobeky cymbals have more of a brass looking alloy. They still look great on camera, but some may like the bronze look better. I've provided all of this feedback to Jobeky, so they're certainly aware. But all in all, I really like the Jobeky cymbals, and all the Jobeky products in general. Great drums, cymbals, mesh heads, and great people too...Colin and Jane are amazing to work with. Sorry I wrote a book, but that's what I think of them!

How good are the Jobeky Cymbals compared with the roland Cymbals (vh-13, CY-14C MG, CY-15R MG ) ??

Hey Luke I really appreciated the long reply because there are few people who really shares technical information on this matter and as a person that is having a difficulty on experiencing these things to compare due to lack of availability, it is really helpful. :)

No problem, glad to help. Let me know if you have any more questions, and if you think of anything else you'd like explained/demonstrated. I plan on making a video demonstrating the Jobeky cymbals and explaining more about them, so anything you'd like to know about them will be helpful for me. Thanks!

The majority of my videos I'm using rimshots and positional sensing. So the center/edge and rimshot articulations in Superior Drummer 3 are determined by stick position on the Jobeky snare. However, you CAN setup articulations to trigger based on velocity. I used to do this quite a bit before Superior Drummer 3 using Superior Drummer 2. It works quite well and gives you some nice control over the articulations. I explain and demonstrate this in my live stream sessions on this channel.

Drums are all electronic Jobeky e-drums and cymbals, using a Roland TD-30 and sounds from Toontrack (this is an older video so this would have been Superior Drummer 2 at the time, I use Superior Drummer 3 now.)

I've been performing this arrangement with my band, "Formerly Three", for a long time now. It's our own arrangement as well so we learned it as we arranged it. It's not all that difficult of a song to play...4-on-the-floor most of the time. I'm going for more of a simple drum part to let the music speak for itself on this one.

These are custom Jobeky electronic drums and cymbals. It's all connected to a Roland TD-30, which then connects to a Mac Mini with Superior Drummer 2 loaded on it.

I appreciate the feedback. Any other songs you'd prefer to hear instead? Or just drumming, no music?

It's not supposed to be. The entire arrangement is intended to be different than the original.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6lilJx005zRnZs.html body groovin', head bobbin', swagger in his shoulders..looks loose to me. However, we did all have a gun pointed at him off camera to get it right. Maybe that's why he seems uptight.
