Members lossforgain Posted October 12, 2010 Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 Meh...I don't like e-drums. Maybe the Yamaha, but I wouldn't have a use for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1001gear Posted October 12, 2010 Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'd pick the Alesis for the price and make do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kmart Posted October 12, 2010 Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 Not having played any of these, and not knowing what the on-board sound quality is, the LAST one I'd pick is the Roland, based on that 'all-in-one' stand configuration alone. Sure, I bet it's real convenient and a great space saver, etc.Until a piece breaks/goes missing. Plus, those pedals look like garbage. The Yamaha looks like it's the sturdiest/best built, IMO.

Members Hope Drums Posted October 12, 2010 Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 If you are stuck to the three above, I'd probably have to go Yamaha, because they are the most consistent. (I've played on all 3) If you have about $1K in your pocket for a kit (which is about where all those are priced new) I'd hit up CL or eBay and look for a TD8 or above Roland kit. I picked up a TD10 kit last month for $1100 with the CY type cymbals!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jenksdrummer Posted October 12, 2010 Members Share Posted October 12, 2010 Given that I have drum samples, I'd go with Alesis, since I'm fairly sure there's a MIDI out that I could run into a sampler w/ drum samples loaded and manage to sound AWESOME.... Plus I like having more things to hit and the spacing that's there with the Alesis kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members boxofrocks Posted October 13, 2010 Members Share Posted October 13, 2010 DTX I wouldn't buy the HD1 cause the pedals are just.. Not right.. The Alesis would work though.. I've heard good things.. As long as it had midi out and some dual trigger on the snare and ride, I'd be good with it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Enigmatic Posted October 13, 2010 Members Share Posted October 13, 2010 Would go for the DTX for reliability, but have heard a lot of good things about the DM10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I know these are made for durability and all.. but my dad had a yamaha set that eventually had mis{censored}s, developed connection problems w/the pieces, etc...

Members race81 Posted October 14, 2010 Members Share Posted October 14, 2010 yamaha,,,,,the other two are a toss up for second and third. I played a alesis dm6 last night and things were falling apart everywhere and miss triggering every other note. the thing is the same as a simmons cheapy, same pads and cymbals triggers.

Would I buy used....absolutely! I WOULD NOT buy one of the rubber pad type kits, but a mesh head kit, any day, especially Roland. The reason I say that is because they are easily repaired if you do have a problem with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted October 15, 2010 Members Share Posted October 15, 2010 Of those, I'd pick the yamaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
