Hi all and thanks in advance!
I've been a percussion fan forever and have played various hand drums and have some great stuff, but could never muster the courage to do an acoustic kit, I don't want to make that much noise while learning. I bought what might have been the first consumer DTX kit waaaay back in the day (in 2000 or 2001 I think) . The triggers were lousy and the module was limited but I got by until it frustrated me so much that I stopped playing - it's been in boxes ever since. Guess I should dust it off and sell it.
Now that e-drums have evolved so nicely, I want one but have so many dizzying questions. I'll just rattle off a handful here and if you have any opinions or guidance, I would REALLY appreciate any input.
1. My desire is to just plunk down the moola and buy a TD-15KV, I would love the VH13 hi-hat, but have been told it's a kit and they cannot separate.
2. I have seen some folks doing DIY stuff using Quartz triggers and that seems like fun but I have little time for that and do have the $, so I'm leaning toward a pre-built kit
3. V-kits have been out for a while and I worry a little about buying now as I don't wanna get burned when new ones come out (I'm not in a huge rush), but I cannot find anything at all about new product
4. I see so many singing the praises of Vexing and just assume I'll do the same, but see only 1 module for the TD-15, so was wondering if there's some other 'magic' combination of brain and pads that I should consider. I am leaning toward a TD-15 module based kit because of the SuperN processing, but that's just me reading and falling for marketing.
5. Part of me feels that if I'm asking question 4 and have no idea, then I should just shut up and buy the TD-15KV and call it a day. Just worried I might be locking myself into something that everybody knows about but me.
Thank you!!!!!
