Re: Elec. Drum Kit Opinions?

For a much cheaper (and in my opinion better) alternative, just get a computer midi sequencer and buy a drum module like the alesis dm5. If you're going to buy an electric set, you have to go by feel...and most of them have none. I know a drummer who ruined his wrists playing for years on only electric kits. If youre not going to play them for performance or anything like that, I would reccomend just getting some sort of trigger pad device that you can play without having to go in on a whole set. But again thats just my opinion, I hate playing lifeless drums. It takes a lot of the fun out of it. Good luck

Subject: OT: Elec. Drum Kit Opinions?

Hi all-

 

I wanted to get some opinions on midi drum kits- preferably around $1000- there are so many from Roland alone I'm a bit lost- - I'm tired of drum machines and ready made loops and want to create my own drum and percussion loops (I used to play drums)- I plan on using my computer as the sound source- Thanks-
