Hello,
I'm a drummer for a coverband (pop/rock/disco from 70's till now). We mainly play small gigs. Currently I play a Sonor Delite kit but for some weeks now i have serious hearing troubles (however i do use hearing protection most of the time). I don't want to bash my ears any further but i don't want to quit drummer either. So i'm thinking of buying a e-drum kit. I think an e-kit may also very well fit for the various types of music we play.
The only thing i'm worried about is the racks of e-kits like Roland. Are they rugged enough to break down and build up again time after time ? I ones had a ddrum4 kit and i only used this at home. After moving it ones from basement to a hobbyroom one of the clambs already broke down.
I know there is alternative hardware like HART but i think i'd best stick to a complete kit avoiding loss of possibilities, sensitivity etc...
Would it be possible using a A-kit rack like Pearl ? It maybe doesn't look as nice but it sure is rugged enough.
I'm thinking of buying a TD20, but I still believe they don't sound as good as the ddrum4. But of course a ddrum4 isn't an option anymore because of the bad cymbals. Would a laptop using samples be a good alternative ?
thx!
