I am wanting to buy an electric kit. I really like the Td-20, but I really like the hand hammered look of the hart Pro 6.4. Can anyone help me. I want this kit to be a gigging kit. Td-20 module with roland cymbals. Maybe hart drums? any suggestions? Thanks

Hart Pro 6.4 or Roland Td-20??

Both are top-of-the-line kits with excellent reputations. Either one would serve you very well. It may just come down to which looks better to you.
Personally, if I were making the choice for a gigging kit, I'd go with the Hart. I think the hammered chrome would look better under stage lights, and the metal Hart cymbals more closely resemble the acoustic cymbals your audiences may be more used to seeing (if that matters to you). Plus, the Hart hardware tends to be a little more heavy duty.
Either way, you'll want a Roland TD-20 module.
Best of luck. Let us know once you make your decision.

What V-drummer said. Nothing's to stop you from customizing the kit and using a Roland cymbal (I assume you're looking at the VH-11 or 12). The Hart's are great edrums as many of us here can attest to.

I own Hart, and judging them against the Roland drums(only playing Rolands at the drum shop). The Harts feel way more substantial and the cymbals a lot more convincing. To me, the Harts are closer to acoustic.
Also, the Harts, especially the hand hammered, look much better IMO. To me when you see the Harts in person, they
look "pro".
On the other hand, I like the response of the Roland Hi-hats, and the swing of the Roland cymbals better than mine.
I don't think you would make a mistake buying either one
or mix and matching them, although the latter would
probably be more expensive.

Gotta admit, I'm a Hart fans like the guys above. But, my kit is not all Hart. The base of the kit is, but there are components from Roland, Smartrigger, Pintech, and Gibraltar in there. Mix and match is a great way to go.Hawk snare, toms, and bass; Hart ECII crashes & ride; VH-10 Hihat; Iron Cobra double-bass.

Another very satisfied Hart user here. Though I might add, if you want your kit to look "real", how about a DIY? But anyway, the HDI does a great job anyway, playwise as lookwise (don't even know if those words are even English, but you know what I mean).

Another Hart fan here. I think the Hart Epedal II hats are fantastic and I have played on the TD-12 V hats (one of my students has one).
Another plug for RMC Audio. I doubt GC can beat their prices.

As others have already said, RMC Audio has a good reputation when it comes to pricing, though I've not personally bought from them (yet).
