actualy the pearl RT isnt that bad. especially for HDB users. personally i live in HDB and i got one myself. if you main goal is to be able to practice on a true feel acoustic drum without that much concern bout the quality of sound produce it is really the one to go. cause smaller volume small space.
Personally i think in HDB, such a small confine area even expensive drum kits full kits will not sound that fantastic due to all the reflection of sounds waves (are they call overtones?) in such a small area. Also if u are playin them in a room in the HDB or something, i personally find it a need to wear ear muff.. cause very loud? So once u wear ear muff the sound u 'hear' is once again altered...
So unless u are thinking of bringing the drums out to gig often or anything, i persoanlly think more money can be invested in the hardwares (like pedals, drum throne) for a better practising experience that the quality of the kit it self. =) just dont get too loust kits la haha but the RT is just fine enough =)
hope it helps!
