Hello all,
After months of research on vdrums.com (and demoing at Sam Ash), I am about to purchase my first edrum kit, which will be based on Roland products. To tell you the truth, I really do think the ddrums are superior, but the stick noise is unacceptable to me. (I have cranky neighbors.) However I am experiencing some last-minute doubts. This is what I intend to purchase:
TD-8 module
PD-120 snare
(3) PD-100 toms
(3) PD-7 cymbals
KD-120 kick
FD-7 hat control
Gibralter GRS-350C rack
Axis X double pedal
Mackie SRM450 amp
Sony MDR-7506 headphones
Any comments whatsoever on this setup would be appreciated, positive or negative. I have a few specific questions as well:
* Will I need any extra wires or hardware (booms/clamps), besides the snare stand and throne?
* Should prices be coming down on these discontinued Roland products? I’ve been pricing them online but the prices seem as high as ever.
* I also intend to purchase a set of v-cymbals in the future. Can the TD-8 be "shacked" to support the 3 extra PD-7 pads in addition to a set of 3 or 4 v-cymbals?
* Is it a bad idea to use the SRM450 as a combo guitar/edrum amp? Would I need a mixer to do this?
Well, thanks everybody for your help, and of course thanks to vdrums.com for providing such an excellent resource.
