Did you every play on an electric Drum Set?  email this discussion to a friend?

Since I've no possibility to buy an accoustic set, because I have no room to put it, I decided to buy an electronic drum kit. I'm using the Roland TD-20. Compared with an accoustic drum set I have many advantages... I can play at any day and night time, without disturbing neighbours, I've about 50 different drum kits I can choose from depending of what music style I wanna play. I can define any kind of cymbals, toms, snares etc. And last but not least, it's very easy to record it since you just plug in one single cable to the mixing board and you have the perfect drum sound.

Even I love to play on accoustic sets, the E-drums gave me completly new opportunities. What are you guys thinking about it?

I've played on both and while the conviences of electonic drums exists as you stated, I find that accoustic drum will never die. There are lmitations to the electic set, like doing rim shots and gettting a variety of sound out of a cymbol or drum itself. Also electric set cost about 3 times as much. But they are a lot smaller and easier to carry around.

I agree, that accoustic sets won't ever die and of course they shouldn't. I see electronic and accoustic set as two different instruments, even both are drums. But both versions are having different features, whitch you can use for your music/band/recording. Thanx for your opinion!

Good point. I forgot to add that I think electric pads are not bad idea to add to a set. This what you can change up sounds and add in different percussions instruments as needed without having to go out and buy each individual piece.

I find it gorgeous for musicians like you and me who can't obviously make a lot of noises at home .
And trust me,I understand you very much on this coz I wanna learn drums sooo much .
I tried this electro stuffs at a friend house and lol there was a kind of party and I forgot almost everybody there and found myself playing the whole night with the headset .
It's very passionating and so nice for people who live in a flat but I think I'd always prefer the sound of real drums,I guess there are big differences,maybe like electro and acoustic music .
Not that I'm old fashioned in music,I just think nothing could replace the sound of a real drums set .
Happy playing:)

I could not understand how they play drums. I play the organ and my younger son plays the guitar and the drums and also my older son. If my younger son plays the guitar, my older is the drummer.

i have the same problem as you, so i also bought a digital drum set. mine's a yamaha dd60. i don't know which is better, but mine's just a compact drum set, i do enjoy playing it, i'm just a novice drummer. but i like playing on an acoustic drumset better. it just feels like whenever i hit my drum pads, i can still hear the sound that my sticks make when they hit the rubber pads.
