I've started a small band and we get to practice at a nice studio where the drums and amps are supplied. However I don't have a drum kit at home or anywhere else for that matter. I have little experience at drumming but I'm quite talented, I just need the practice.

I live in an appartment so an acoustic kit is completely out of the question. So recently I've been looking through electronic drums, more precisely the V-drum from Roland. Since I'm beginning and not sure how serious the band will go, I've been interested in this particular set:

It has everything I need to start practicing at home without disturbing any neighbours and best of all it's affordable. I would like to get some feedback from you guys on this.

Thanks!

airdrumming made me the drummer i am today.


that's as far as i can say

Electronic drums still do make quite a bit of "noise", but of course not as much as acoustic ones. If possible, you should go try them in a instrument store.

Just raid your moms kitchen, pots and pans all the way!!!

I've got one of the Roland electronic kits, its perfect for quiet practicing but useless for live, as you'll no doubt know.

There's actually a lot of difference between playing an acoustic kit and an electronic one, so all i can say is try and play an acoustic AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

But yeah, go for Roland. Any buy a double kickdrum pedal.

You could also use an acoustic set with silent pads. They come for Drums as well as for cymblas. A friend of mine uses them. They sound great and you don't hear anything in the neighbourappartments.
