RMP-5 or 3

[pasta]

Can anyone give a quick overview of the major differences between the Rhythm Coach 5 and 3 (aside from price)?
Just wondering if the 5 is worth the additional $$.

TIA

RMP-3:
Internal pickup (amplifies mesh head)
Metronome Tempo Range: 20-260
5 click sounds
18 Rhythm Types
5 Rhythm Coach Modes

RMP-5:
54 PCM Drum & Percussion Sounds
Dual Trigger input
Metronome Tempo Range: 20-300
15 Click Sounds
24 Rhythm Types
22 Patterns
6 Rhythm Coach Modes

Both models have an 8" mesh head, a Mix-in jack, headphone /output jack, use a 9-Volt battery or power adaptor, and can be mounted on a PDS-2 stand.

Yep, this was very helpful to me too!

I own a set of TD9KX. So will RMP-3 be enough to me for practice?

I suppose the advantage of RMP-5 is the connectivity to external triggers so you will get a basic edrum kit for practice. Am I right?

The RMP-3 will be fine for practicing, it just doesn't have internal sounds. When you plug in headphones you just hear the head and click. It does have all the metronome and rhythm coach functions.
Here is an idea - get a cable to plug the headphone out into an unused trigger input on your TD-9 and you have another mesh pad. It will then trigger whatever sound you want to assign to it.

is that correct?! can these actually be used as another pad to trigger a module?

Quazi is absolutely correct!
