I hope you are not taking this discussion as an attack on you or your
feelings about drumming etc. I had hoped to start a discussion on the
*philosophy* of acoustic vs. electronic drum systems, and it appears I
*did*! :)

I think  some very interesting points have been, and are being made, on a
topic that I think can enhance all our perceptions about the craft we
enjoy. No one should feel obligated to defend a given position or attack
oposing viewpoints, though everyone is surely invited to share their
opinion. Hopefully we can all read and contribute to the thread while
giving more thought to the art of drumming and our chosen noisemakers.
