[Drum Master 1]

I agree, they're great for practicing... but the cymbal pads reveal the transient delay flaw in electronic systems, which reveals itself even when using headphones.

Tom toms and bass drum sounds are awesome though... especially with ROLAND gear.

Playing electronic drums live though... rely very much on the quality of amp and speakers.

After fiddling around on different systems in local music shops (where I spend most of my lunch breaks) I have often thought that the deal set up would be... Top of the range Roland electronic drums... in combination with closely miked real cymbals, and wide dynamic range speakers to handle sub bass frequencies and high frequency horns... Now that would be awesome.

If I only had the time... but alas I can only but dream... cause I work 8 days a week.
