New to electronic drums

New to electronic drums

2005-10-03 by ajurewich

Hey guys, I'm in Iraq right now and coming home in a few months.. I'm 
interested in these electronic drum kits. I've played guitar for 5 
years now and have some experience with drums as well. First of all I 
seem to read a lot of reviews that refer to electronic drum kits for a 
more acoustic type approach? I understood that they could be used for 
any style.... My style being hard rock and some metal. Is this true or 
what? I'm not necessarily looking to play big live shows with this... 
mostly practice in the barracks and small rehearsel spaces. I'm 
looking to spend in the neighborhood of $1,000 to $1,500.. big range I 
know... but there seem to be a lot of good models in this range. Which 
do you guys prefer for my case in particular? Also, is there a really 
big difference between the circular cymbals and the more triangular 
ones or are the triangular ones as capable of producing as good an 
effect as the circular? ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks again.
