    Looking to upgrade Hart Pro 6.4 to Roland Set

    I've got a Hart Professional 6.4, TD-8 set. I'm happy with it, except that while I was visiting in Japan I got to play a Roland TD-9SX set and I hate to admit it, but I liked it better than my Hart, especially the action of the high-hat and ride cymbal. The only down-side as I can see it is that the Hart set just looks sweet.

    After looking at the sets though, I figured if I'm going to upgrade, I might as well make it worth my while and get a Roland TD-12 set, as it's only a little more than a TD-9SX set.

    Am I crazy for wanting to sell the Hart set for the Roland? I could just ditch my Hart Ride and high-hat for Roland pieces.

    If all you want are "better" cymbals and sounds, it would be much cheaper to get a different ride and high hat. They have V-expressions kits for the TD-8. They seem to get universal rave reviews here. If you really are happy with your Hart kit, going this way would save you many $s.

      Why don't you just upgrade the module? Then you could still have your sweet looking kit and also have the playability you're after. Best of both worlds. Am I wrong about this?

        I have a TD-12 with a Hart Gigapro. I agree you should upgrade your module--it has an awful lot to do with the hat sounds and feel/response. Try that and then see what you think. Then look at the Pintech 3-zone or add a Roland Cy-12 or 15 (I really missed not having the edge and choke when I had only the Hart Ride).

          I agree with the others. Why change out the whole set? If you otherwise like your pads, upgrade the module and maybe change out the cymbals to something you like better. I was getting ready to change my hi-hat to a VH-11 as I dissatisfied with the ECII hat's performance with the TD-6V. When I upgraded the module to a TD-12, it was amazing how well the Hart ECII hi-hat performed. Night and day and am all happy again with my Hart hat. Just something to consider.

            Thanks for the responses. I'm going to keep the Hart set as I'm happy with the basic kit; the drums themselves are awesome. I think I'll get a CY-15R and them maybe a TD-12 if I can find one for a decent price. As it is it still sounds sweet, especially now that I bought the V expressions master 50 set for the TD-8.
