Hi guys!
I used to play an e-kit but sold it off as it just wasn't keeping up with my progress. Since then I have stopped drumming but I feel like getting into it again. The problem is, e-drums are wayyy more expensive than acoustic kits and leave much to be desired after playing.
Some points I dislike about an e-kit are:
1. Small pads
2. Pads with no depth, makes it feel like I'm playing a toy
3. Sub-par sound quality
4. Rubber pads which feel weird
5. Hi-hats which can't open and close physically
6. No rim-shots
7. Rides without bell
Some of the above are because I purchased quite a beginner set, but the better sets out there cost a bomb and I just cannot justify the price.
I was wondering if you guys face the same problems as I do or what are some of your troubles when playing/buying an e-kit? I'm real interested to know, please comment!
P.S I might be thinking of building my own kit
