RE: will e-drums screw me up as far as playing acoustic drums.

2000-02-07 by Giles Hearn

My only thoughts on this subject :

Sometimes (and I think we've all been there), I get
into a state of drumogasm - a state of higher
consciousness during a fast, loud song where you seem
to become one with the kit. The music is all around
you and you just buzz with energy and power.
Yeah, yeah - it all sounds lke New Age bullshit, but
it's difficult to describe. It's when you hit the peak
of the song (or gig) and you're right in there and you
*know* you sound brilliant. You know the sound of
every drum and cymbal intimately - it's very organic.

Can you get to that state of "rhythmic nirvana" with
the DTXpress? has anyone been there? Andy?

I'll look forward to getting there myself when I next
play live - although I might take me a while - I'm not
as young as I used to be..hehe...
