Which Electric drum, Alesis or roland

[lepak]

Alesis, yamaha or roland?

And which type the one with black surface or white? whats the diff with the White and black?

White has better feel?

 

[irishblue]

when you say white and black... do you mean white for mesh heads and black for the rubber ones?

 

[brainwash]

white, they have drum skins, mesh and plastic heads. black, mostly rubber bah can't think of any other material.. lol

white has a better feel ? .. >> if it is mesh or drum skins one, YES. plastic to me, not really eh.

but a drum set with all mesh heads is expensive. for a roland one, the td-12 is bout 6k in swee lee. a td-3kw is 2k+ i think. it has the snare as mesh and the other as rubber.

for alesis, i am not to sure. yamaha i think they have a model in drum skin ? .. correct me if i am wrong .. you may also would like to try out pintech or hart.

To answer this post honestly, I think that both the Alesis (the one that is before the DM5 PRO) and Yamaha brands are not worth it. I have tried both and, when compared to the oddly shaped SPD-20, both literally pale in comparision. In particular, the Alesis kit felt and sounded especially cheap while the Yamaha kit really seemed to be over-priced.

I have not tried the Roland kit, so I cannot say anything about it.

Again, this is my opinion.

How about the lastest Alesis kit? (DM5 pro)

What's your take on that?

Well, I have not tried it yet, so I cant really say anything about it. However, if the module is the same, then I can expect the sound to be also equivalent.

The best is for you to try it yourself ....

check out the roland td-20. Highest end model there is. Amazing module with an amazing price.. N im pretty sure the white coloured heads are better cuz they have better feel and for the roland drums at least, white means it can be tuned.
