I'm considering buying an electric drum kit in the near future, researching into the roland drum range - hence the image. (If anyone with eletric drum knowledge, have any advice please throw it my way)
Know some of you are probably thinking.. why do that to yourself.. well mainly damage your bank balance - around £1,000 for it(price of the TD-6KX). Your thinking i'm wasting money but lets seriously think about it;
1) Headphones - play quietly or stupid hours of the morning;
2) Easy to set up and ready to play - takes less space to transport;
3) Can be leveled on the mixing desk - no chance of you drowning out anyone else;
4) XLR input, so when it comes to home recording/demos.. no hassle;
5) Download new sounds for it - making it sound like updating an ipod;
6) Probably the most lazy comment.. but doesnt require tuning; :)
7) Ghost notes are, how I would say incredible.. the dynamics, are flexible;
8) My drum attachment can reach the pads easier.
the main disadvantage of not buying one is..
1) whats the life span on it;
2) Have to buy a decent one for good response time with fast fills.
Dont know if your aware, but all products today are designed to break down... means you have to go out and buy a new one, resupplying the market.
I spoke to my friend on the weekend and he called it "plastic crap" not the V-Tour Series TD-KX .. just electrics in general. Kind of guessing hes only had a go on the low end electrics which may I add are... just ew. the response is slow, the sounds are just, flat and weak sounding.
Don't know how you other drummers feel.. but guitarits have these effects boards/pedals and they can do some really interesting stuff, and just an acoustic drum kit are limited in that respect... I'm quite open minded and I want to give it a shot.
So the point I'm getting at... instead of just rambling in a pointless fashion...
If anyone with electric drum knowledge, have any advice please throw it my way.
