Members ScottIans Beard Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 So ive been taking drum lessons for a while now getting good. However a practice pad aint cutting it any more, and acoustic drums are out of the question Anyone have experience of cheap electric drums? What about the Yamaha DTXplorer? Is there anything any cheaper that is in the same league? Im not expecting to get an amazing tone and feel from it, but my lack of a kit is hindering my practice.

Members Big Hair Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I have the DTXplorer - cost about 500 quid brand newOk, it isn;t amazing - one feature I would love would be to be able to grab the cymbals to stop them ringing, but they still sound okay.It has some cool little features like songs you can play along with etc. I quite like it, and I'm certainly no drummer - but I;ve had quite a bit of fun learning to play some basic crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members C-4 Posted January 18, 2006 Members Share Posted January 18, 2006 I play in a band with a drummer that has the top-of-the-line Roland electronic drums and they are killer sounding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that even possible on an electric kit? Im having a blast just keeping basic rhythms, i cant fill at all! So top quality sounds and features arent essential.
