Where I work we have this nice Pearl acoustic kit (which has never really been taken care of), so I started to 'torture' it trying myself with some basic rock pattern or following some tune from the karaoke system. Doing so the old desire to learn some drumming came back...
I can't have an acoustic kit at my boarding place. I browsed around and got the idea that an electronic drum kit could be a good compromise, confirmed by a kind shop assistant/drummer who demoed 3 different drum-kits for me and said that with e-drums now there is a good level of dynamics and sounds to enjoy learning/playing.
I browsed and saw TD-3KW kit as the compromise between financial limitations and beginner needs to start drumming, but I also have some doubts.
1) the Hi-hat issue (FD8 Controller): in the first lessons I got from 'Basic Rock Drums' book there is 'Controlled Hi-hat' sound, which is hitting the open Hi-hat then closing with pedal - is it possible to obtain that sound on TD-3 kits or it just will stop 'open sound' with a 'chick / closed soun' ?
2) later on if I should need 'expansion' of my kit, I can change the sound module or just hook it up to a computer to have new sounds, right? but is that possible to handle '3-zones' pads (like the Ride cymbal) on a TD-3?
Thanks for any good advice folks!
