Roland TD4KX vs Yamaha DTX540K

[Svermorg]

Hi,

I'm an amateur drummer.
I've had a Roland TD4 KX drum for over 6 years and I'm very happy with it.
Now I have the opportunity to buy a second hand Yamaha DTX 540K.

I'm wondering if that's a good idea?
Is the Yamaha DTX 540K better than the Roland TD4 KX?

Yes (well, "better" is always subjective", but....

• 3-zone drum and cymbal pads. (so, head rimshot and crosstick on the snare, for example).
• Silicone pads
• Sound layering and switching.
• Sequencer.
• No proprietary cable snake - easy to changes cables, pads or swap the module out for an upgrade as an when you like.
• Sounds from Yamaha's acoustic drums - not computer models.
• etc.
