Wall of Mouths

Well, as you say, they’re handy so that they don’t annoy the neighbours. However, I find that on any electronic kit I play, it just doesn’t have the same feel. The bounce from the pads just isn’t the same as as real kit.

Of course, you can have loads of different sound effects.

The pads are too small for me. When I’m playing, I like to use a lot of the skin, but electronic kits restrict that sort of movement.

That’s just me, but I hope that’s helped you in some way.

I have sold me really old fucked up drum kit and am thinking of getting some V-Drums as not to pissoff neighbours when i do get a flat and also so i haven’t got to mic the thing up anymore. Anybody got them and have any feed back?

I like em!You’re gonna spend alot more money on the mesh heads but the rebound is much closer to a real drum.The gum rubber pads aren’t bad.They make kits that have a mesh snare pad and the rest are rubber.Roland make fine kits.My bass players wife and a friend of mine both bought some in the last week for their places cause they can’t play their kits there.
