Hi All,
Yes I'm a newby, and after reading several posts i'm glad that I did beore I posted this post...
I recently sold my acoustic drumkit with much regret and am now looking into getting some E-Drums... I was in my local music shop and was bashing on the V-Customs with the TD-8 brain for around an hour... I was so impressed with the responsiveness and the feel of the whole setup...
In regards to what I want to use it for, basically I want to play all styles of music, however, I used to play in a heavy metal band would this pose any problems in regard to a heavy open hi-hat sound etc... I love the sounds you can get for the bass drum, toms etc...
Giging wise, I haven't been giging for quite sometime now, but in case of future developments does the V-Customs enable hasstle free adaption to club playing... or Hall, etc...
I guess the main reason why I like the V-drums in oposition to an acoustic is the fact that they are silent, which is a big issue, compact, and fun due to the endless possibilties etc...
I have read several posts with people complaing about the 8" pads... I do see the point, but as many people mentioned adaption is easy given time...
As we all know price is a big issue when considering v-drums... As I live in Australia prices for v-drums are quite extrodanary... though I believe in always purchasing a quality product.. and Roland is a brand which has been established for quite sometime now... My local drum shop as I only went to one so far has given me the RRP price as $6,195 though he said he cound do em for $5,195.. All these prices are in Australian Dollars... I like the idea of the V-Pro sets, however, doing a quick search in Australia for prices have estimates for this particular set around the $9,000 mark.. which is far to far... Is the price for the V-Custom reasonable.. i'm not sure what that works out to be in American Dollars...
One last question, does any body play double bass here? I want to add another bass drum pad and soforth so if anybody has any coments regarding that.. Would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks everyobody...
