Excellent if you want to mirror your own kit instead of an electronic kit
TheeWon 08.01.2022
I looked for a decent noise reducing system for my five piece Yahmaha 1978 stage custom kit. I was almost going to purchase an electronic kit for all the right reasons. But I decided that my heart lies with the accoustic kit. And the electronic kit really is a different instrrument in many ways from an accoustic kit. Not least the set up. So the RToms fitted the bill perfectly because its as close to a real skin as possible, though not entirely, of course.

Also it means that in terms of muscle memory it allows me to play my own kit live having practiced on it just like 'real'! I like electronic, I have no beef with them, but they are easier to lay than an accoustic set, hence the RToms.

Plus of course I can play them any time day or night in the cabin in the back garden. Which was the original reason I got them right? Enjoy if this is what you are looking for. They can be tightened or loosened for sound/bounce and fit easily over the heads. I bought these during lockdown and waited a long time to get them. I would say that the finish was not as high as expected, but they function perfectly so far. Hence the 4 star instead of 5 for quality.

Happy playing everyone!

Bei den Black Hole Practicepads kommt es sehr darauf an, wie/wofür man sie benutzen will. Ich wohne in einer Wohnung im ersten Stock und muss deshalb sehr auf die Lautstärke achten. Ich habe die letzten Jahre deshalb auf einem E-Schlagzeug gespielt, wollte aber jetzt für ein besseres Spielgefühl die Alternativen bei den Meshheads ausprobieren und dennoch nicht lauter werden als mit den Gummi-/Schaumstoff-Pads.
Und hier liegt das Problem: Diese Pads sind vergleichweise einfach viel lauter als normale Meshheads. Bevor ich das Pad auf meine Snare montiert habe, war ein Schlag darauf schon fast so laut wie auf die Snare alleine mit normalem Meshhead. Deshalb war die Sache da schon für mich im Grunde erledigt.

Falls man natürlich in einem Haus wohnt und einfach seine Mitbewohner schonen will, unempfindliche Wohnungsnachbarn hat oder einfach sein bereits vorhandenes akustisches Set leiser machen will, ist hier bestimmt besser bedient als ich. Dazu will ich nur sagen, dass die Montage auf die Snare nicht so leicht war, wie ich das auf diversen Videos schon gesehen habe, aber vielleicht habe ich mich auch nur dumm angestellt.

Fantastico

Ho comprato gli rtom in coppia con gli zildjian l80 e sono molto soddisfatto del risultato.
Gli rtom attenuano veramente il suono lasciando il pitch tipico dei vari toms e rullante. Sono molto simili alle pelli mesh, ma hanno un vantaggio non indifferente: si possono semplicemente poggiare (in modo sicuro)i toms e rullante senza cambiarne le pelli. In paratica li togli e li metti velocemente a seconda che ti servono a o no. E' possibile anche tirare o meno la pelle a seconda dei propri gusti.

Für Toms und BD durchaus OK, vor allem in Kombi mit den Zildjian L Cymbals. Bei der Snare bleibt allerdings vom Natur-Soundcharakter nicht viel übrig. Ghostnotes klingen wie auf einem Tom gespielt.
