1. I was concerned about noise from the pads as well, but I was
pleasantly surprised that even when hit the hardest, they don't
produce much sound. 

I can't speak for switching from acoustic to e-kit since I've never
drummed before. The main reason I bought the DTXIII-Special is
versatility. I use it to trigger sounds through MIDI, and I have a
massive library of tools and samples.

As far as authenticity, I'm not very satisfied with the module's
sounds. However, I never expected to be. If you're looking for great
quality drum sounds, try hooking the kit up to a computer via MIDI and
using BFD or Drumkit From Hell Superior. You probably won't be
disappointed.

have an electronic kit, and especially about the DTXpress III.
