Hi everyone.

Enjoying reading past post right now...

I was a pro drummer in my youth but gave it all up 15 years back.

Long wanted to play again but the electronic kits have never appealed to me.

I was working with Steve Negus from a band called Saga last fall and he opened my eyes to some new gear.

Would anyone be able to take a moment to perhaps answer the following for me?

1) Any problems - I have been hearing reports of the kick drum playing up?
2) What is the head response like compared to an acoustic kit?
3) What are the cymbals like on response?
4) What sticks do you use?
5) Can you recommend a kick pedal. I used to have a very fast foot - played with my toes, so I like a loose feel rather than a pumping action.
6) How good are the sounds in there?
7) Do you have to be careful of climate control - I am thinking of having it set up in the loft and the temp can dip low there?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Graham
