DM10 Studio for 9 YO

[Run4two]

Hey there,
I just bought a DM10 Studio Pro kit for my 9 YO son who is showing major skills on RockBand.  I love the kit, but am not a drummer and am unsure of the hight placement and spacing of the set up.  I think I have it set pretty good, but will have many specific questions in the future.

I'm not a newbie to makiing music as I am a keyboard player from the 80's. I still play and am helping my son get into the groove.  We are off to a great start and will be viewing and posting here often.

Welcome to you and your son!

Very nice to have you here. Ask freely whatever you wish!

What kind of music did you played in the '80s?
I'm asking because I play drums in a cover band and we play mainly international hits from the '80s (Van Halen, Men at Work, Toto, Nick Kershaw, etc... -- I'm Italy based)

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.  Pier, my band was a synth pop band who had a go with original songs.  We took second to a band called Bad Radio at a battle of the bands at San Diego State University.  Their lead singer was Eddie Vedder!  We did play some covers though - Madonna, The Cars, The Fixx, Berlin, Billie Idol, Human League.

I feel like my son and I are getting in this forum with his new kit at an excellent time.  It reminds me of 1999 when I bought my Korg Triton Pro-X keyboard and joined a great forum.  I can sense that this place is going to take off big.

I hope Alesis gets quite active with this forum as Jerry Kovarsky (JerryThek) - keyboard and recording product manager - did with the Korg Triton forum and Irishacts forum in the early 2000's.

Alesis has the best value kit BY FAR on the market and they need to put the pedal to the metal.  Internet interaction is no longer a may do, it's a must do.
