I've decided I definitely need e-drums again. I purchased a Yamaha DTXtreme IV Special, but I may just swap it out for a DTXtreme III. The trouble is, I can't justify three kits. One of my beloved acoustics will have to go. Do I sell the amazingly beautiful and great sounding Mango Burst Yellow Mapex Saturn six piece kit or the amazingly versatile and practical Marine Pearl Yamaha Al Foster Hipgig Kit (4 piece). What would you guys do?

If you have to mic both kits most of the time and you prefer the portability of the Hipgig, I think you'd want to sell the Mapex. So purty, though!

I like the Gokit. I haven't gigged with it--just have a nice small footprint set up for lessons.

Well, it's going to come down to how you use the set you choose. The Hipgig has obvious benefits with it's size. Personally, I'm not a fan of mounting anything off the kick, but who knows, maybe they're doing that better now than it was done in the past. If you're band mates accept it, a TD-20 kit can certainly be just as easy for setting up/taking down/transporting....that could be your gigging kit.
I'd lean toward keeping the Mapex...but I'm a sucker for a finish like that! I also would simply want the one that sounds the best. I would deal with a slightly more inconvenient set up/take down if it means a better sound.Stick twirling - because you obviously have mastered all other aspects of drumming already, right?
