Members guitar420 Posted February 11, 2003 Members Share Posted February 11, 2003 next year i may be in a little dorm room and im thinking of getting the cheapest smallest electric kit i can find (hart prodigy?). so anyways, i dont care if it takes up my whole room as long as it fits so about how much space would you say it will take up?

Members Mopzilla Posted February 11, 2003 Members Share Posted February 11, 2003 it won't take up any more space than a normal drumkit. whatever e-kit you get will not be bigger than a normal 5 pc kit. they are nice, but why don't you just take your acoustic drums and get those drum conversion head things? then when you play out just change the heads?

Members stapes2260 Posted February 11, 2003 Members Share Posted February 11, 2003 any college guy knows there's no way in hell you are going to fit a drum kit in a dorm room. It's not logistically possible, i'd come up with a plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members burnt667 Posted February 11, 2003 Members Share Posted February 11, 2003 I have a loft in my dorm room, and I have my desk on one end (under the loft) and behind me is my electronic drumkit (pintech rack, yamaha dtxpress pads, alesis dm5), so whenever I want to play, I just turn my chair around.

Members guitar420 Posted February 11, 2003 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2003 wouldnt they be smaller than an acoustic kit? so much less volume because theres no drums just pads and a frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jaged05 Posted February 12, 2003 Members Share Posted February 12, 2003 Yeah dude, they are alot smaller than a 5 piece. The pads are usually only 8 inches, as apposed to a 14in snare plus your 14 or 16in floor tom. I had a friend do the same thing your doing. What he did is just left the kit set up, and folded the arms of the rack in and threw the whole kit under his bed when he wasn't using it (His bed was kinda elevated a bit though). He had a Roland V-CLub kit, which the Hart kit is a bit bigger, but that might work for you too. If you have a closet, that might work.
