Attention Hart Pro Owners!

[ufotofu]

As far as I can tell, there have not been any reviews on the new Hart Pro drums (the hand-hammered ones) as of yet. (Yes, I have already run a few searches.) If there is anyone out there who owns a set, particularly the 13" snare, could you please share your experience and compare/contrast with the equivalent Roland mesh pads? I am very interested in replacing my PD-120, mainly due to the hot spot issue which I simply cannot resolve. Thanks in advance!

I received my Pro set last week but haven't played it because I haven't received my td-8 yet. I can't friggin wait...they look real sweet. It's like having a bad a$$ car in the garage without the engine. I spoke to my retailer today and he said he should be getting some td-8's in today and he will overnight mine as soon as he gets it. Hopefully these babies will sound as good as they look. I'll let you know.

drums with no brain......brutal man.......brutal.......well you're due to find a hundred dollar bill just layin around ......karma is good.

Aren't the old 13" Acusnare pads the same, aside from the new trigger? Because if it is just a matter of the size of the drum being of concern, my Acusnare from my Giga-Pro kit is great. If it is totally different concern, well my Acusnare is still really great.

Ufotofu,
I know of many drummers replacing the PD-120 with the Accusnare. All have been glad they did. The feel and performance smoke the PD-120.
The Accusnare and the ProSnare are the same except for the shell.

Thanks for the input guys. I actually have played the Accusnare before (a friend owns one), but I assumed the Pro series was more than just a cosmetic update. I will see if I can try out the Accusnare again however.

So, are there still no official Pro owners yet? There's got to be somebody...

[mutley]

Yes and no........
In the famous words of the Scarecrow (If I only had a brain)

Well, I meant besides you, Mutley.

And don't forget to post a review as soon as you've got your settings tweaked! Will this be your first set of edrums?

P.S. The wizard may be able to hook you up with a brain. He's a stubborn bastard, however...

Although I've played all my life this will be my first set of e's. Having a wife and two little ones kinda cuts back on your practice time and I don't think anyone would appreciate me wailing on my kit @ 11pm. So the e's seem like the perfect solution. The only experience I've had with e's is when I tried out the Sessions at a couple of stores and loved em. In the end I went with the Harts, although I never played or heard them live. I went with the Harts for three resons: price, reputation & lifetime guarantee. I'm sure I won't be disappointed.

The wizard's got a sick sense of humor. I don't know what's worse...Waiting three months for my set or staring at them set up and not being able to play them. The anticipation is killing me.

I'm interested to hear your feedback on the Harts. I also have played the sessions and am looking to find a hands-on opportunity with the Harts before I make a purchase decision. I am most interested in a comparison of the V-Cymbals to the EIIs.

Good luck

[mutley]

I just got confirmation...td-8 will be in tomorrow. Yeah baby!!!!

One of the great things about edrums is that they're great for practice even with the module turned off.
