Re: Beginner, at home, looking to buy a kit, electronic or acoustic?!


For me, the silencer pads did not feel natural when playing on the toms and snare. Since you are just starting out, this may not be a problem. They do work and keep the drums quite, the cymbals are not totally silent but are not very loud.

If you can, go to a store that carries the silencer pads and put them on a drum and cymbal and see for yourself, I don't have a video or anything since it was a long time ago that I had the acoustic set.

The e-drums will cost a lot more initially than an acoustic set, especially on the entry level sets.
