Electronic Drums - Ideal For Apartment or Stage


I see a lot of questions on message boards related to apartment-dwellers and their perception that they need to find a place to practice drums. They think that a drum set and an apartment are mutually exclusive. This does not have to be the case!

Enter the electronic drum set. An electronic drum set overcomes the primary obstacle for people who live in an apartment -- noise. With an electronic kit, you have the ability to sit down, throw on a pair of headphones and play as loud as you want. The only sound your neighbors would be able to hear is your sticks hitting the pads and I guarantee that your TV or stereo gets louder than that.

Another obstacle for getting an acoustic drum set in an apartment is space. There isn't enough space to fit a drum set unless you're willing to sacrifice your bed, kitchen table, or another large piece of furniture. With an electronic drum set, you don't have the "bulk" that you have with an acoustic set. If you wanted to, you could even take an electronic kit down when you were done and store it in a closet or off in a corner somewhere.

Electronic drums have other advantages over acoustic kits as well. There is never a need to tune the kit or worry about cold or moisture affecting the overall sound of the kit. You even have the choice to change the sound of the kit to make it sound like you're playing in a large arena or a small jazz club. Most electronic kits allow you to hook up your iPod so that you can play along with your favorite songs and get the right mix in your headphones. This is something that's a little difficult to do with an acoustic kit.

The only disadvantages to playing an electronic drum set are that they aren't as expressive as an acoustic kit. The newer drums are getting closer, but the "feel" just isn't quite the same. If you play with brushes on an acoustic kit, you won't on an electronic kit.

Playing live can be a bit different if you're used to an acoustic set. You're at the mercy of piping in to the house sound system -- although being able to mix in with the rest of the band is actually an advantage in my opinion.

There are a lot of advantages that electronic drums have over acoustic sets and only a few disadvantages. If you live in an apartment and think that practicing the drums has to occur outside your home, check out some electronic sets. You'll practice more if they're around your house and you might just start to like the idea of playing on an electronic kit as opposed to an acoustic.

Reusing Your Old Electronics

One of the best ways you can keep toxic electronic waste such as TVs, computers, cell phones, iPods etc... out of landfills is by reusing or repurposing your old electronics. There are many ways of doing this. You can repurpose an old desk top as a backup server for instance or as media center or you can make something else out of it. If you are computer savvy you can make a digital picture frame out of laptop monitors for instance. People have been known to make beautiful jewelry out of mother board parts. If you have a knack for this kind of creativity then you can use your imagination to create many things out of used electronics. Here are some more ways of repurposing and reusing electronic equipment. If you haven't thrown out or recycled your old analog TV yet Please don't send it to the landfills. The CRT in television contains several ponds of lead and we don't want that leaching into the soil and ground water. You can re-purpose your TV by making it your DVD st...

Why Every Franchise Should Use Electronic UFOC Distribution

In today’s world time is very important, if not everything. Time to prepare, time to market, time to close, time to roll out, and many other time related events can determine in great part whether a franchise venture is successful or yesterdays news. Franchises have been burdened, or perhaps mandated is a better choice of words, to comply with Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (“UFOC”) law for 25+ years. During this 25+ year period the UFOC has changed dramatically, and the legal bodies controlling its function and purpose have also changed, but one thing has remained constant over these years, and that is UFOC’s are expensive. They are very expensive to create, super expensive to produce and distribute, and unbelievably costly to store and audit. UFOC’s are one of the single greatest expenses new franchises face, and for the first time there is a cheaper and more effective way to do business. It is legal, it is safe, it is secure, it is encouraged and it will make an exis...

Why Should I Use Electronic Signatures

Why Should I Use Electronic Signatures? This is a rational question with rational answers, but not everyone has the time or the tenacity to sit down and read the Electronic Signatures In Global and National Commerce Act (“ESIGN”), Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) or the stacks of other regulations and guidance that make this technology not only legal, but also stress the vital importance of adopting electronic signature technologies. Today the average American office worker consumes (12,000) pieces of paper a year, with an average annual printing expense per employee ranging from $600-$2000. Storing paper and retrieving stored paper is also quite costly. The U.S. government estimates that (1 Lbs) of paper costs ($19) a year to store and manage. At that rate, assuming your business stores only 60% of the paper printed by your employees, your business is spending $1,500 annually per employee on paper storage alone. There are obvious other costs associated with paper, fo...
