Yes I agree with you. The TD20 rack was one of Roland problems I hated. I'm talking my church into investing in New clamps and new drum riser which I hope to cover on my channel. Work is making hard right now to focus on it.

Thanks Justin, it means a lot that you watched this long video:) Goedrums is actually a recourse for a lot of e-drum companies. These clamps are used on drum-tec racks and the hihat controller is used by Jobeky for example.

Thank you Brad, so you would need a rack that can be dissembled? Or just a compact one which is light and foldable?

@DoblyTufnell 7 жыл бұрын

A rack that can be dissembled. It's a much modified DM10X kit. Would not fit on a smaller rack.

@Vdrumtips1 7 жыл бұрын

I would build it in a similar way and would use big cable connectors where you take off rack parts. So you could just unplug the whole bunch with one plug.

@jasonwou3003 7 жыл бұрын

Excellent work, but one suggestions. I would not cut the cables to shorten them. Instead, I will first lay them backward from the pads/cymbals to the module. Any slag it has, I'll just make figure 8 loops and tie it under the module. You can't see the cables unless you look directly under the module. This way, you don't have to cut/strip/soldier/wrap those cables, and they are reusable.

@Vdrumtips1 7 жыл бұрын

Well, I can extend them again if I want to:D

@littlebear2477 Жыл бұрын

Can I ask if you think it would be more expensive to use EDrum racks or a chrome acoustic rack if starting from scratch for an edrum setup? I’m guessing edrum racks would be cheaper but I’m looking for a larger wider setup so I can mount 3 rack toms . Although that would work on your setup also🤔

@trashthescene 7 жыл бұрын

You should add affiliate links for U.S. Shoppers. Great build! What are your thoughts on customizing an e-kit for traveling. Possibly 1/4 inch cable connections at each section of the rack for easy tear down?

@Vdrumtips1 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks, there are actually some affiliate links for US shoppers:) Yes, I would even use a multi-pin connector to divide the segments.

What is your opiniom on the Roland MDS-12V rack?In particular,the newer plastic hinged clamps with cable ports that replacled the ones you got rid of here.

I would say it is the 2nd best rack available (after the MDS-25/50).

@@Vdrumtips1 That was my opinion as well,although I had heard differing views regarding the plastic clamps.I almost bought one on Ebay a few weeks ago,but then 10 sniper bids came in in the last 5 seconds.

Sarah Asher Geronimo Adminstrator Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean specifically. But I guess you are asking about the cables in the rack pipes? Well no, cause the cable snake does not allow you to fit angled jacks trough the pipes.

@johndef5075 6 жыл бұрын

Rather than cutting cables i just try to find closest length for application and coil any excess at the module then you can bundle the coils if needed.

I own an Alesis dm6 and am thinking of buying the Roland td11. So, can I connect the output of alesis dm6 drum kit to the mix in of the td11 module and basically create a hybrid huge kit? Will it work? and if I play music through the mix in from the dm6, I can hear it from the output of the td11?

The clamps for connecting the cymbal arms and tom arms. At 1.33 you have them all removed from the rack

1. I replaced some of them. 2. I built the rack from scratch and wanted to start clean. 3. I drilled holes into the pipes, which would have been too much of a hassle with those clamps.
