OK, OK, I am now convinced, I will now be purchasing a remote hat rig. After watching your video Bart the other day I was on the fence now I will be jumping over. I know everyone is different, but how long should it take to get comfortable with this new set up, I am a pretty fast learner so hopefully not too long. Guess I will be getting prices tonight, other than the DW any other MFG's suggested....
I think it's tough to determine how long it will take you ... but if you are a quick study, I doubt it will take you that long.
I like that placement, but I hate how the two toms are separated so that its tricky to roll down the toms.
Most people freak out based on what they see with their eyes and not what they feel when they actually
try it. It reminds me of a past thread where everyone is talking about adjusting their gear so that it looks good from the audience. To me, this just shows again that the focus is on what the eye sees and not what the kit feels like. Not that I don't want my kit to look nice, but the priority should be (in my opinion) on how it feels to me when I play it. If I can make it look nice to the audience at the same time, great.
Don't knock or rule out the set-up for yourself until you try it. If you don't like it, that's cool, but at least try the set-up sometime. As you can see in my video, I'm moving between two Toms that are separated quite a bit ... and it's not stopping me from going around the drums quickly.
