Says who? You don't even have to hit an electric drum correctly to get a perfect studio produced sound.Geebs wrote: Playing an electric kit is harder than a real one. Jus sayin.
Geoff, buy that kit, it's excellent.
As far as super bouncy heads, they're only trying to emulate real drum heads, and that's only if you get the white mesh heads.
I wouldn't say they're particularly super bouncy anyway. If you don't have any chops in the first place, even super bouncy heads
still won't make you sound very good. To get a good drum roll, you need to practise on dead surfaces like a pillow to develop wrists.

i have played the kit...i know its excellent. my son and i fucked around with it for about 30 minutes at guitarcenter, then we moved on to the acoustic kits and they sucked balls in comparison....

If you knew how to hit drums properly with any sort of decent 'touch' they would sound far superior, more so assuming they were good quality shells.scared? wrote: then we moved on to the acoustic kits and they sucked balls in comparison....
Lol, you're the equivalent to a guitarist who can't do hammer ons and pull offs on a guitar but could easily do them playing samples on a keyboard, as could any 3 year old.
Re: Got some V-Drums -video-
In my (limited) experience, playing V-drums is just more physically demanding - I probably don't have them set up well enough, but I've got less bounce than a real kit. Plus the rubberised cymbals are more "sticky" than a real kit so, again, more energy needed. on the plus side - saves a fortune on mics, recording gear and a fricking room built to keep them in... And playing into a sampler means I can fix my amateur fuckups. Shame I have to play the guitars properly :-(DRuM wrote:Says who?

No Geebs, it's the other way round mate, acoustic drums are more physically demanding. 
You have to hit them hard to get them to sing since each drum requires air to move. And no, electric drums will never have the ideal amount of bounce compared to real drums, but the roland mesh heads go a long way towards solving it, far better than the standard rubber surfaces. What you're describing is basically what I said to geoff earlier, electric drums will never feel as good as real ones. But, they have their place AND they're fun, especially playing along to built in songs, having built in click, that sort of thing.
