Top Comments of this video!! :3
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!

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 Iâd 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 whatâs remaining of my hearing. Already have six releases completed with this setup and itâs fantastic. Not gonna lie, brushes would be nice. đ

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.
