New, with a VERY important question...

2000-02-20 by Parke Cochran

Hey all.  I've been in the market for e-drums for a while now and
have demoed the DTX, DTX2's and (omygosh) the Roland V-Pro's.  Though
I'd love to buy the Vs, $3500 just doesn't cut it.  I'm sorry...I
refuse to pay the price of a nice used Jeep for a drum kit.

So now I am leaning to the DTXs.  My question is this:  Can you tune
the DTXs sensitivity to the point where they respond more like an
acoustic head and less like a triggered rubber pad?  The kit I played
didn't allow for the subtle rolls and ghost-fills on the snare.  But
I didn't play around with the settings at all.

Bottom line, is the $1000 kit really the better buy (talking value
here).  An acoustic kit is loud but they *are* real.

Thanks for any help...And keep the good info coming, I love this
group.

Parke C.
