Those look awesome. Never seen this kind of thing before, can you use the cymbals with another brain or do you have to use the one pictured?

What is the noise level like, compared to say hitting pads?

Hi PolarityMan.

These are real cymbals at about 25% of the usual volume. They are not triggers, so do not trigger midi, so have to be used with the Zildjian brain that is included, which shapes the sound of the cymbals.

There are 20 or so presets in the module and you can also download software to use in your PC/Mac to edit the presets more to shape the sound of the cymbals.

They feel great to play & much more realistic than the usual rubber pads.

The Hihats are worth it alone, as they play & feel like normal hi hats, as that is what they are. Pop them onto the usual hi hat stand, hook up the module & away you go - proper huh hats on an electric kit!

Re the noise level comment - they are similar to hitting the pads, but the noise is quite different. Rather than getting a 'thunk' when hitting a pad, you get a 'ting' - like a real cymbal, but much, much quieter.

The fact that they produce a higher frequency sound, means that, in my experience, it didn't travel through walls etc so wasn't louder than what I was using before.

PolarityMan

The suitability of using in the house was basically what I was getting at

Seriously considering these but I wouldn't mind seeing if i can find somewhere that stocks them locally to check out the acoustic volume first.

No problem.

There is a video on youtube somewhere that shows the acoustic volume of them (I think it was Japanese music shop)...

I'm at work at the minute, but I'll try & dig out the link later if you have no joy google-ing.

I used to play in my basement and the sound didn't carry up through the floor, due to the high frequencies being blocked more than the lower ones by the ceiling/floor above.

Here is the link of them being played "un-plugged" to give you an indication of their acoustic volume.

PolarityMan

Great, I'll check that out at home tonight.
