24:24 Yes, It's possible to play brushes on electronic drums and I can prove it here: www.youtube.com/shorts/7Ye9cTPfeQQ

I remember Ulysses coming to Vitoria's jazz festival with the Juiliard's teachers. I remember he came as student with the master Carl Allen and I can remember he taught us some hand exercises on a pad. Not only his touch was amazing, but his driving swing with the ride cymbal was incredible as well. He can move a mountain only with his right hand. And he can do Over an acoustic, electronic set or over a table!!!!

Ulysses is such a treasure! Really grateful for his enthusiasm and energy. Also, thanks for the acknowledgement that some (a lot?) of us who just want to jam and have fun, and not necessarily devote our lives to the instrument for whatever reason. I thought I wanted to become a professional when I was young, but found it wasn't for me. I have no regrets of giving up that dream, but still enjoy playing. E-drums have made it possible for me since 1999 or so when I got my Roland TD-10K! Now I've got a TD-27KV2, and absolutely love it. No worries about annoying the family or neighbors! And I still have acoustics in the closet if the need arises, and I bring it out occasionally to keep my hand in. Cheers!

E-kits can sound pretty amazing if you spend some time electronically tuning them, creating your own kits, and/or using things like EZ Drummer where pros have done a ton of work recording and tweaking kits for us (and we can still tweak them to our liking more). None of the ones Iāve played yet feel like an acoustic or really react dynamically quite like an acoustic, but you can change sounds so quickly on the fly, record much more easily, tear-down and set-up more quickly and easily in a small space, control volume better, add effects easier, the list goes onā¦ Theyāre both amazing instruments. Iām lucky and happy to share a studio with my friend and band mate (between us, we have an acoustic and an e-kit among other gear and itās a blast)! I will say, Iām getting more and more interested in creating a hybrid kit to get the best of both worlds and be able to switch between e-sounds and acoustic on the fly, and combine my love of synthesis and sound design with my love for drumming. š

I guess it's a bit "uncanny valley," very close, but not quite, to an acoustic sound. You can hear that it's e-kit if you listen in close. Cymbals and snare are the give-aways. That being said, it seems like a perfectly okay practice tool. I think Ulysses made a good point, that it's probably better to develop your hands and ears on an acoustic kit before moving to the e-drums.

Happy to see some videos and positive comments on e-kits. Out of necessity, I carefully converted my 25-year old Yamaha birch kit to a hybrid set up using some internal bridge triggers and EF Note cymbals all going to a Pearl Mimic. This was before I knew Iād try the same set up with recording. Getting the trigger settings just right can be a pain but worth it to be able to record some songs late at night without waking up the rest of the house. It also saves whatās remaining of my hearing. Already have six releases completed with this setup and itās fantastic. Not gonna lie, brushes would be nice. š

The thing I notice is that the grace notes are much louder, the kit doesn't seem to have the same responsiveness and range that you get from an acoustic kit. But if anyone can make it sound good on Digital drums Ulysses Owens Jr is the one. Took my 14 year old son (who is just learning the drums) to see him at Columbia U a few weeks ago. When Ulysses walked on stage and started playing, my son's eyes got as big as saucers. I don't think he will ever forget his first time seeing a master play up close.
