So - I ruled out the Yamahas (cheap ones are too cheap, expensive ones are too expensive.) I ruled out the Clavias (too simplistic.) What does that leave me? A TD8 V-Custom Kit.
Just a couple of questions, though:
- How many inputs can I use on the TD8 brain? Specifically, can I add two additional pads immediately, one for a cowbell, one for a tambourine?
- How transportable are the things? That is, are they quick to break down/assemble and are there decent cases for them?
- Is it possible to use crossovers to send the frequencies to different amps, as you would with a bi-amped hi-fi system? I would see the kick going through a Peavey bass combo most of the time, but think that snare/hats would lose definition and a guitar or keyboard (or even vocal) amp would be better. How feasible is this?
I'm guessing these are pretty Frequently Asked Questions, but my life is too short to hunt through 10,000 past topics.....
TIA (as always)
