My original position in this debate was not questioning whether e- drums are 'real' drums or something else. Of course they are real drums. I can see them, feel them, hit them and hear them. They're real fer cryin' out loud. However, here's a question for you. My Yamaha keyboard has drums sounds, and pianos are considered a percussion instrument. Is my Yamaha DX70 a real drum? Think about it. My original position in answer to the question of whether students should be taught on an e-kit? Real drums or not, I say no.* *Unless they have an e-kit at home, have expressed a desire to learn on an e-kit, and/or do not plan on ever playing acoustic drums. Stephen
