#drumkit

A little upgrade for our Roland TD-1K electronic drum kit that we bought back in 2020.

Gained a few extra bars and clamps off eBay and managed to separate each individual drum element to one side of the kit.

This solved the issue of the cymbal hits triggering the toms or vice versa when two elements were too close together.

Now it plays even better. And looks a lot more compact.

Trying very hard here never to upload to Youtube again. All part of Degoogling one's life! I've had approval from the drummer and the singer of Le Beat Group Electronique to upload bootlegs of their pub gigs starting from the 1980s. So for any oldschoolers who like foot-taping pub rock, do check it out on Makertube...

A drum solo is an #instrumentalSolo played on a #drumKit. A drum solo may be set or improvised, and of any length, up to being the main performance. In #rock, drum solos are unique in that traditionally they are minimally or never accompanied, whereas other instruments may play solos accompanied or unaccompanied. They are also typically free-form in that they do not necessarily adhere to the tempo, style or structure of the song they accompany. In #jazz.
