Re: Cheapest

Greets,

cheapest I've seen is

http://www.musicians-gear.com/  under £700
down side is you have to order from belgium.
Piedog.com are good I have used them a couple of times £795
loot.com has second hand kits from  ~ 600

I bought my kit from electro music in doncaster £799.

However I urge you to buy from a shop where you can try the kit 
first, they are different from accoustic kits, and you need to play 
one to find out if you can live with the limitations.
Searching this forum will bring up lots of better/worse than opinions.
Try the Roland TD6 kit as well, same sort of price.
