I just got an SPD-20 from a local music store (it was on clearance for US$550), and I'd have to say that it is so much fun to play on and with compared to just banging on pads with my fingers on the MV-8000!
(After setting the note numbers correctly, old kits from the MV take on a new dimension when played with sticks.)
Can an SPD-20 be a viable tool to learn drumming skills, even if it's not the same 'form factor' as a real kit? (Especially with a kick trigger and a HH trigger.)
What stands would work best for elevating the SPD20 to a comfortable playing position?
What stick size are you using on the SPD20? I've noticed that lighter sticks (like Vic Firth AJ4s) feel a bit better on rubber pads because of the easier rebound than "heavier" sticks like 8Ds.
