I am not a drummer so I hope some one out there is
What I am looking for is an Electric drum set that plays like a real drum set but has a volume control. This is a gift for a Drummer who currently owns a nice Tama set.
I have seen electronic Drum sets from $500 to $5000 and wanted to know what a good low cost brand and model.
 
call me a purist but I liken an electronic drum kit to a pocket pussy.



Nothing beats the real thing

I agree to point but I have seen and herd some good Electric sets.

Is there a good way to reduce the volume of a real set? I find reducing the sound level on real set sounds worse then an Electric set and the electric set can plug into head phones

Sometimes you need to practice on a Pocket pussy before diving into the real thing

Did you ever pass gas after a huge meal????????

How did that feel?

Nothing beats the real thing......next thing some one will be touting the virtues of VR SP's
 
aside from it not being real or the same thing what is a good one
 
I'm partial to the Roland kits. I used to own a TD-3KWS and loved it; dozens of pre-set kit sounds, mesh snare that had a nice bounce, electronic cymbals that you could actually "choke" and lots of other goodies. New they're about $1500 or so with the stand, cables etc. You'll need to purchase a throne and bass pedal, they don't come with the kit.

The thing I liked best about it was that I could play with the headphones on and not bug the neighbours. Easy to carry around too from gig to gig. Sure, they didn't have the same resonance and warmth that you'd get from a good set of DWs, Pearls or Ludwigs, but the tradeoff was portability and being able to play all hours of the day and night without pissing off the neighbours.
 
Thank you Capncruch it was a bit more then what I wanted to spend but I will look into it. I agree doesn't piss off neighbours isn' too loud in a small area easy to record from many advantages
 
No problem. Just because I'm partial to Roland doesn't mean that Yamaha and others aren't worth a look. Rolands are generally priced higher than most other brands, but Yamaha makes some good stuff. The thing I don't like about Yamahas is their cymbal configuration; they're not circular, they look more like 1/3 of a pie. But that's just my personal preference.

And look at some used outfits as well to save you some $$. Another thought might be renting a kit for a month to just hack around on for a while to get the feel for it. I'm not sure where you're located but where I live there are 3 or 4 outfits in the city that will rent kits complete with thrones and pedals etc. for a pretty reasonable price.
 
Thank you it is a gift so I would not rent or buy used . Maybe a gift certificate?
