As title really are there any drummers on here as I am looking for advice on buying a e-drum kit
I dabbled a bit but only acoustically. I'm a guitarist at heart. My daughter has an e kit though.
Thanks for the reply Pete I have to say drums appeal to me as a potential means of maintaing co-ordination and flexibility because of the need to use all four limbs + my brain, seems like a good way to warm up before setting off for a run to me.Quote:

Is there anything left that you cannot get an e version of nowadays?
Real in the raw nature and open spaces I don`t think anything can replicate that:)Quote:

Thanks guys all good usefull information and I am narrowing my choices down and this kit :-

with this addition is coming out on top:-

I figure that as a beginner that combination is going to cover all bases for me and if I take to it I can always upgrade later any thoughts/suggestions most wellcome .
I guess I need to get a move on if I am going to get my kit before the next lockdown
Bong! Too late!😥
My son too has a Yamaha kit. We looked into e-kits, but they're expensive and his teacher said an acoustic kit was better unless you pay a lot. I guess it depends how much noise those around you are prepared to put up with.
Good luck finding something. Youtube is awash with people showing you how to play drum parts of lots of songs.
Thanks Noel it is going to have to be an e-kit because music should be played loud in my book and headphones are essential as far as I am concerned, as I have nothing down for winding up my neighbours.
Looks good, John. Hope you beat the lockdown.Quote:

We’ve been doing lots of body-percussion in these Covid times as we cannot teach in our usual music rooms or sing. I would have to say the improvements of coordination are astounding. Getting all students to use hands and feet at the same time has been a great leap, but will pay off when we go back to ‘normal’.
It is an excellent brain and body warm up!
Well I picked the above kit up today and am looking forward to assembling it tomorrow and maybe starting on the road drumming heaven maybe`Quote:
