Hey Drummies,

I am new to this forum, but definitely NOT to E-drumming! I finally bit the bullet this summer and bought my Bose system after several failed attempts at getting the sound I want out of many other manufacturers' systems.

I am using a Zendrum (www.zendrum.com) controller (and occasionally a Pintech E-kit) which triggers a Muse Receptor (drum sound samples from BFD), and that, my friends, is the best drum module I have ever heard! (I sold my Roland TD-20 after trying the Receptor.)

My rig is: Muse Receptor into a DBX DriveRack (I use it for its auto-EQ, and sometimes for a crossover), which goes to two L1 Classics, each with 2 B1's (4 total). The DriveRack's Auto-EQ really works wonders; I have been incredibly happy with it when used with the Bose setup. For the bigger gigs I play, I use my Mackie SRS-1500 powered subs instead of the B1's for more wall-shaking (when called for) but they are pretty darn big and heavy by comparison. Overall I would say the dual-L1/quad-bass system is by far the best drum rig I have ever heard, and the single L1 with 2 B1's sounds great for smaller gigs. Also, I play in a classic rock trio and we use the dual-L1 system as our entire sound system...no amps, no monitors. I wish the other guys would each buy their OWN L1, (LOL), but it sounds great as-is. My only complaint is that when the guitar, bass, and vocals are mixed in, the clarity of the drums can be compromised. I am cuurently working on that problem...but at a venue large enough for a guitar amp and bass amp, it rocks!

That sounds like a great system Jer.
Thanks for coming in and telling us about it.
Do you have any pictures?
We have a thread for that here in the drum forums.

Here is my E-set up.
I use a TrapKAT and a TD-12 (ho-hum) module.
The receptor is amazing, but way more than I need for my drumming style.
Maybe they'll come out with a drums only module for less cash.

I play thru a single Model II with a Packlite and 4-B1s.
Four makes all the difference for my kit.
I jammed with a guy over the weekend with only 2 and it felt a anemic.
In 2005 I played in a classic rock quartet with only 2 systems (and mackie subs),
and yes, that does compromise imaging and separation.
But even when shared it's the best system there is for on-stage comfort and CD quality sound.
