Hi there, n tks a lot for taking the time to advice
me. Actually, I'm thinking more of the new Roland V Club set, with the TD6
module , which is a cheaper model, but still more expensive that the DTXpress.
MOney is a problem, no suprise there. Very inclined to therefore buy the
DTXpress becos of great value n low price, but just thought it worthwhile
checking in the forum to make sure it wouldn't be a wrong move.
One great attraqction about the Roland is the
cymbal like pads that can be choked. Any idea whether these can be mounted on
the DTXpress kit and will they work? I suppose the DTXpress kit can always be
augmented down the line with better pads etc. if the need arises, correct? BTW,
how are the cymbal pads and high hat pads on the DTXpress - are they
good?
Bascially, I'm graduating from a much simpler
system (KAT multipad with kick pedals), to one that will more closely mimick an
actual drum set in terms of the layout and feel. ALso plan to do some home
recording down the line.
Best Rgds

that you are referring to the Roland TD8 K V Custom kit with mesh heads. As
far as I'm concerned, the V Drums are superior in every way - they play more
like an acoustic kit, have more voices and kits and the sound module is far
easier to use than that of the DTXpress. However, they are TWICE THE PRICE
of the DTXpress and, in my opinion, they are not twice as good so I could
not justify paying the premium for the V-Drums. The DTXpress is an
excellent piece of kit which is more than capable of surpassing most
drummers requirements.
If money is no object, then you are a lucky sod and you may as well go for
the V-Drums. Otherwise, I reckon that the DTXpress is the best real world
choice cos it offers the greatest value.
