It seems that there has been so much innovation and new technology developed for the world of electronic drum kits recently and I have only just stepped my toes into the ekit realm. Mainly because the ekits that were around when I started playing drums were total garbage and cost a million dollars... Thankfully those days seem to be coming to an end with the Zildjian Alchem-e being one of the kits to push the industry along. Electronic cymbals have never been the best when it comes to their feel. Electronic hihats are notorious for being unresponsive and sluggish and rubber pads feel nothing like real cymbals, but the Alchem-e cymbals seem to have solved the major issue of feel. These are based off the Zildjian L80 cymbals, or low volume cymbals, which use a special alloy along with numerous holes to make a cymbal that feels and acts like a normal cymbal but at a lower acoustic volume. Combine that with some crazy technology that Zildjian developed and bam, you got electronic cymbals that feel like real cymbals.

Youre my hero after this
The snare is great but this badge is horrible :-) sorry dude.
Alright, now we need the gel heads.
Little out of my budget.
Yooooo. Thats a great joke!
id rather buy a car and a still really good Roland kit lol
ill never understand why people let themselves be obese
G O N G R O T O
For $400, I’d buy this kit. But the notion that e-drums are good for low-volume gigs is false. You hear clicks and all the crummy sounds that comes out of it that aren’t coming out of the module. For practice, they don’t feel like real drums. For live gigs, they are too much trouble and too unreliable. Now that I think about it, I’d rather just spend the $400 on another (real) ride cymbal.
DB for shure
Can you give me an drum pkease
How
Ol dude sold his soul for a few dollars. That's trash 😂
Do you do restorations
better than the og
you hit it right on the head...why spend 4k on a kit when you can spend under 1k or less--or even find a great used kit for even lessor, and have a great sounding kit and save tons of money....this is a great video for younger drummers...its not about how much you spend, or always about a name brand.. its more about what you can get ,good--to match your budget and satisfy your sound needs...Your videos are so cool and down to earth-and they put a lot of info and misnomer into a very understandable fraction..PEACE!
Nice you made them sound just like a snare drum 😆
I feel like you’re supposed to stack the spiral on top of a crash or something lol
Seems the size of the drum was never mentioned ... if I missed it, my bad ... but, I did watch this video and scrubbed through this twice.
Rip his needle
It is like a pegboard or fibreboard.
Why do you like Evan did not remote because Evan just like way worse because all you can hear when you play Evans is the actual head but when you play Remo, you could hear the drum
I went over to an electric Yamaha. 😂
To my opinion, the cymbals sound better of the kit.
Cheap staff..
ALWAYS ENTERTAINING. Thank You R David R. for all of the INSPIRATIONAL Vids. (btw: that bearing edge is phenomenal) nice touches.
That tuckernuck Sam ash 😭 so many memories getting kicked out for playing in the back
I’m more interested in that knife.. 🔪… Where did you get it?
I had a Rogers 5-piece kit with Zildjian cymbals back in the '90s that I paid $250.00 for (the young man I bought it from didn't know the first thing about musical instrument pricing). I don't know what year it was from but, what I remember about it was, it had a white wrap and, the inside of the shells had a gray, granite look to them. I unfortunately traded them for a Charvel acoustic/electric guitar and a Crate amp (wish I still had that kit). Can you maybe guess a production year, David?
All it needs is a "Tune-up"! Cheers!!
excellent kit for GO-GO music
dude saw ya in a vid by Justin of 65 drums .. (Ziljian ALCHEM-E explained..timestamp 12:26)Guess He was at the Zildjian factory also.. KOOL
Hey I just noticed the guy at hawthorn drum shop has one of these if you are interested
Already needs a firmware update ? will it fix the cheap plastic pieces and questionable sounds ?
Still a good deal for $64 bucks on Amazon
This was actually a really informative video, I was thinking about getting moon gel but I’m probably going to get the off brand stuff, same thing lower price, thank you for making this video!
ua-cam.com/video/mhQKCTA4N04/v-deo.html
That’s great! Let’s be friends :)
Soo yeah a bit off topic here, I have a kit I need help identifying...it is a Pearl...the badges are Black over Silver, there are smaller stickers on the toms (16ft 14pwrtom) that say "Made in Japan"...the confusing part is when I look up "Flash Green" (looks like a green candy apple wrap not lacquer) it shows a Fiberglass/ maple hybrid...whats Really strange (to me anyway) is its 10lug (that is split lug not single style) Export (according to the Non Serial Numbered badges) but again it's a 10lug kick. The Only 10lug Export I have ever head of is the Black kit Steven Adler (Somewhere I heard was a DX Pearl "Export"?) Featured in the 1988 Ritz video...(Clearly a Pearl. Clearly a 10lug kick. Any info from Anyone is Great Appreciate! Cheers!!
Great video, what built-in kit is good for heavy metal, like metallica, megadeth etc? Or you have to use some software to expend to get acceptable sound for that?
12:20 this was painful to listen to lol
That all sounds like crap
I'm impressed 10 lug snares can be purchased for that price, to be honest. I would've thought 6 lugs for that price.
Sorry, DWe Collector's is way better, and all wireless w/ an actual, useable, top of the line acoustic kit, too (and easy enough to just pull the electronics out to put into cheap shells if you want for electric, and then juse use the Collector's series for acoustic only, if you want/ Depends how often you'd be changing. I'm always in electric now because the feel and sound is that good on the DWe, though. First time I could ever feel comfortable enough to just go all electric)
That bow string down the edge of the steel cymbal was pure dopamine
Honestly, I'm team dirty 100%. Brand new cymbals don't look good imo
doesnt sound that good to me
I had those Z Cymbals on my E-Kit. They bent easy, and broke. I hated them.
Just wondering, will this produce metal shavings and dust that could be harmful to your lungs? Should I wear a mask if I’m going to be in a smaller enclosed space for a prolonged period?
Rope tension drums are super fucking cool.
