Question for the Drummers. « Thread Started on Nov 3, 2006, 11:47am »
What is your honest opinions of the electronic drum sets? My brother-in-law just grabbed a set of these. I tried them out with head phones...but I will admit I was interested for recording purposes for adding some drums to some tracks I have here. I didn't know if you have used them before and the recording quality of these sets...

I played a set of the Roland TD-12 V-drums and they were awesome! Felt really good.
That's been my complaint about E-drums in general, they don't feel good. It's true that they don't have the dynamics of a real drum either.
However, the improvements in them since the 80's is dramatic and used judiciously can be a real trip. The new snare drum pads with position sensitivity are really nice. I find the only thing I find lacking in them is the ride cymbal.
I am using a TrapKAT with a Roland TD-12 module for our band's live gigs, been using since May of this year. Easy to cart around, setup in 5 minutes, and sound pretty convincing.
Like anything though, they aren't for everyone. I like them because real drum hurt my ears.
