Hart 6.4 Studio Master vs Roland V TD-12 V Stage

[k-rokk]

Dear Fellow Drummers,

I am looking to get a new kit. I have narrowed it down to the Hart 6.4 Studio Master or the TD-12 V Stage from Roland. The price is about the same. I am gong to use the TD-12 Module, regardless of the decision on the pads. I will be doing some in home recording as well as maybe a few gig's once I get my chops back!

Any help is appreciated.

And why do you need any help? I don't see any questions here? Well, both kits are sturdy and good, so it's going to be a tough decision. I eventually went for the Roland stuff because of it's availability in The Netherlands. Don't know where you come from, but Hart is pretty difficult to get (for a good price) overhere.

I guess the question is with regards to the pads. I am having a problem demoing the Harts but from what I have read in some of the threads most of the community that have purchased the pro pads (without demoing first) have been very pleased. These are a step below the pro pads but from what I can gather have the same head.

I did have a demo of the td-12 last night and the kit felt a little cramped. Could be the way they set it up. The ts-20 felt good but the kit what thrased from others before me!

If I can get these for basically the same price, which one is the best choice. I will do home drumming. Some inpromptu sets with fellow musicians, and maybe an occasional gig.
Thanks for the insight.
