Deathside Posted 30 September 2006 Share Posted 30 September 2006 Had a USB drum kit arrived at work for testing and evaluation Most fun friday I've had at work in a long time - I can't drum but I can play a basic beat If the pedals were more reliable I'd consider buying myself one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse_KC Posted 4 October 2006 Share Posted 4 October 2006 Nah, you can't beat the real thing I second that, however have never tried an electronic kit so I guess I'm not in an ideal position to compare the two. Seen bands play with electronic kits and it just doesn't sound (or look) right - it's an acoustic kit for me any day of the week. Rock on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You miss the points I can't get away with an actual drum kit at my house for reasons of size and volume - The USB kit has a much smaller footprint than a real kit and the volume is controlled by the PC (Also it can be used with headphones) I can play a basic beat and need excessive practace to progress - However I am too self conscious to let people hear my bad playing - For reason explained above I can practace with a USB kit without being heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomassi Posted 4 October 2006 Share Posted 4 October 2006 Any idea what make / model & pricepoint Tom? Ill find out for you... i know it was in the four figure mark possibly £1250 (eek!) but it still only took half the room of a normal drum kit. I played the drums quite regularly as a 9-12 yr old but soon lost my skillz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also got a Bill Sanders practice for the same reasons you stated above (USB kits didn't exist when I started playing!), but that now lives in the shed as I have been rehearsing with a band again recently. I guess if I was starting again then I would invest in a USB kit for home use. I assume you can also record what you play? Could be a great way to add drums to home made demo's ....
