I don't actually own a V-Drums set, nor am I a drummer. I'm a jazz pianist with a small home studio. I'd like to see if it's feasible for me to have a V-Drum setup in my studio that could be used to achieve isolation from the piano mics in my one room. Don't get me wrong; ideally, we'd mic up an acoustic drumkit, but it seems like the electronic drums would be a usefull tool in various situations.
So, my question is, can a good drummer get good brush, rim, etc. sounds from these kits such that you can play jazz on one? I'm guessing that only some of the drum pads support these kinds of techniques, but I'm confused reading the stuff on the Roland site. Can someone tell me what I should buy - I just want a very small kit, but with maximum flexibility for the drummer's technique. Thanks, and sorry for my ignorance.
