I got my Mimic Pro a few days ago (one of first in UK I believe). It is incredible. Frankly, this recording does not do it justice. It sounds much better than this. The Pearl team should win every award going for this.
I suggest you listen through (good) headphones, rather than loudspeakers, unless you have a great system and can play it loud.
This is a simple recording taken only from the master line outs 1 and 2. These are the 'raw' drum sounds, with only a little compression added after recording. There has been NO mixing so in in some cases eg the cymbals are way too hot.......
Kits played:
First kit - Warmtape
Second Kit - Beauty
Third kit - Whispers
Fourth kit - Masters (with new REF toms added by Pearl to the Mimic website (for owners to upload) two days ago).
The touchscreen is fantastic. It takes a while to get the hang of the menus etc if like me you have been on Roland modules for years. But it is intuitive and brilliant. The sounds are from Steven Slate. They rock. The control over the sounds in the Mimic is incredible. It really is mind-blowing.
It's been a few years since I uploaded any videos on here. iGenesis seems to have gone very quiet. I have been happy as a gigging drummer, playing in UK and Germany in various bands and genres. As you can see, I now have a rather lovely drum-tec kit - a Pro-Series in a gorgeous shade of creamy white. I visited one of their stores in Germany, and fell in love with their kits. Ordered one on the spot. In my view, I have one of the best looking kits on the planet :) It is a joy to play.
Forgive the playing on this video - I was improvising and trying to showcase the sounds. There are plenty of mistakes by the drummer :-)
I'm going to record out to separate tracks and improve this for future recordings - I feel like I am in danger of doing Pearl and the Mimic an injustce with the relatively poor quaity of this recording. Apologies to all.
