[17] too many things can go wrong w/ V-Drums, as well. same deal w/ bad cords, the brain not working, something short-circuiting. the hardware doesn’t seem as sturdy. yes, there are definitely pluses to the electronic kits, i just can’t stand ‘em…

oh, double pedals RULE!!! i loathe playing on kit w/ 2 separate bass drums. i never do it. puts the hi-hat to far away. double pedals kick ass! off course, you then need a drop clutch for the hi-hat and they don’t make ‘em the way i like anymore. i like the switch to be vertical and they’re all horizontal now.

i’m sure this thread is toast and you’ll never see this, but what the hey… : )

I love it when someone breaks a g-string ;)

[16] I’m not really a big fan, but there are some advantages. As a kid, I lugged around a double bass set to jams. After like 2 hours of hauling and setup, someone would break a G string… or a cord would be bad… or a borrowed amp couldn’t be gotten, and there goes the jam. Lots of frustration. Plus I lived in an Apt. for a while. Really sweet when ya can’t make a lot of noise.

As a pro, I would never use them… and I can ‘hear’ the delay in my Rolands. But man… they are easy to lug around!

[15] i knew you’d say that! man, i can’t stand electronic drums. HATE them!!! i mean, they have their advantages and i understand that, i’m just not a fan. i’ve had to play them for gigs, lessons, recordings and i’m just not a fan, at all. i like acoustic percussion instruments like marimba & drumkit. no plug-ins! : )

Just got it back today (12/16) at 4:00 PM.
What did I miss?
