Re: Are "edrums", "real" drums? (was: Comparison: electronic vs. acoustic kit

2003-12-23 by brown8700

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.
