Hi,
I'm new round here and guessed this would be the best place on the whole interweb to get some advice about the lovely Vdrums.
I am in the market for some V-Drums. Hope to be buying in a couple of months. Just got back from the LIMS/Drummer Live 08 show in London. The Roland demonstrator has put me in a pickle. I thought the TD12 was for me, but he reckons the TD9K(mesh heads) upgraded with the V11 hi-hat and a mesh bass drum would be better. His reasoning is that the TD9 module has better sounds out the box, is newer, easier to operate software and you can plug a USB stick straight in. My feeling is that the TD12 module looks much better (bombproof) and you can adjust volumes with faders. I am only going to use them at home, drumming is just a hobby for me, but it's taken me 32 years to find a hobby I enjoy, so spending cash on it isn't a big deal. With the extra bits on the TD9 costs will be close, but I would have an extra cymbal.
They wouldn't say at LIMS but I hope the TD 12 isn't going to be replaced soon, so maybe the upgraded TD9 is better? ho-hum... I defer to your greater knowledge and opinions V-Drum masters.
