WHEN I WAS 10 MY DAD ALMOST BOUGHT ME A SET OF BLUE PEARL DRUMS,BUT BECAUSE OF THE NOISE LEVEL MY MOM SAID NO. NOW IT'S 30 YEARS LATER AND I BOUGHT MY "SON" A SET OF E-DRUMS, ACTUALLY IT TWO SETS, ONE ALESIS DM5 AND ONE PINTECH ECHO. I HAVE BOTH RACKS MOUNTED TOGETHER AND THE PADS FROM BOTH SETS WIRED INTO THE DM5 MODULE. THERE ARE 2 CYMBAL PADS CONNECTED TO THE CRASH CYMBAL INPUT VIA A DUAL 1/4" TO A SINGLE 1/4" ADAPTOR AND THERE ARE 2 KICK PADS, ONE ON THE FLOOR AND THE OTHER SET FAR RIGHT OF THE TOMS,BOTH CONNECTED THE SAME AS THE CYMBALS. THE SNARE IS ALSO A DUAL CONNECTION, THE OTHER IS SET BETWEEN THE CYMBALS AND PRODUCES A MILDER SNARE SOUND, WHILE THE EXTRA KICK OFF TO THE RIGHT HAS A NEAT CROSS TALK, IT PLAYS THE TOM, KICK, AND THE CRASH ALL AT THE SAME TIME.IT'S QUITE THE SET UP, SOMEDAY I'LL POST A PIC OR VIDEO OF IT. I'VE EVEN THOUGHT UP A NAME FOR IT, IT'S AN ANAGRAM FOR "ALESIS DM5" AND "PINTECH ECHO" THE NAME IS "5 TIMID ECHO PEENS CLASH" NOT BAD FOR 10 MINUTES OF THINKING EH! NOW WE HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY. WISH US LUCK AND FUN.
