And again, you have yet to explain what it really is, what it does, how it would benefit ANY REAL drummer--like me.
I've been playing drums for over 20 years, I have had Pearl Exports, Premier, Tama and Roland V-Session drums and want to know what you think makes your product special-- so explain it to me. In like, kindergarten terms. Ok?
First, most of the people on youtube that make comments on the videos are NOT musicians but are guitar/rockband 0's.
1. ELECTRIC DRUMS are not pads. ELECTRIC DRUMS can be as "SILENT" as ANY DRUM PAD. ELECTRIC DRUMS are not intended to be SILENT, yet you CAN control volume on them no matter what type of heads.
2. Speakers and cabinets are used for all drum pads. ELECTRIC DRUMS sound better than "MONITORS" for percussion. The shell has better tone and the heads offer even more. You get more sounds and variations than ANY other system. Also ELECTRIC DRUMS do not need monitors to be heard.
3, That's the nice thing about them. They can not only go LINE DOWN, like electronic pads, but also can be mic'ed up like acoustic, for the best and most original sound ever.
4. If you "trigger" cymbals, Triggers on REAL cymbals are BEST.
5. ELECTRIC DRUMS act like no other drum you have ever seen. Any technique can be an asset because these are ELECTRIC DRUMS not PADS.
6. If you turn the volume very low ELECTRIC DRUMS will sound like slightly muted acoustic drums. However, ELECTRIC DRUMS are a performer INSTRUMENT, not intended to be less than dynamic and unique.
7. Electric Drums" can manipulate the heads and shells electrically to create new tones from induced tones. Also the "manipulation" enables head sticking tricks impossible to accomplish on any other type of drum. They do give a studio or live mic'd sound out of the kit of not only great electronic drum tones but also electronic synth tones. I have videos on youtube. If you watch the Video's you will see a little more of what they're capable of. I'll try to answer all your questions any time.
8. The first and every time I played "drum pads" the orientation of sound from a separate speaker system instead out of the instrument was delayed and distracting. Guitars and keys live with it but drummers don't have to anymore.
I spent a lot of time with this concept using mesh heads but now I prefer real heads because they provide more resonate surface for the electronic tones.

Electric Drums are the only drums that have a subwoofer system built into real drums for producing tones of any type within the acoustical instrument !!! Electric Drums can be used with any brand tone or percussion module on the market. The electronic tone from any source will cause the shells and heads to resonate and produce new electro acoustic 3 dimensional tones unlike any you have heard before. Now your real drums can be made to produce any kit any tuning any time. Electronic tones manipulate the snares when desired to create wild ELECTRIC SNARE tones unable to be achieved by electronic pads. You can utilize controlled feedback to produce controlled sustain when sticking the heads. Best of all, the sound comes out of the kit not a monitor system! The tones in your present personal module will come to life when heard emitting from inside real acoustic drums. If you thought Vdrums sounded good out of a monitor cabinet you should hear vdrums in an Electric Kit. But that's nothing compared to what tone modules can do. Many tones like bass, bells, synth can create phatt percussion tones that sound nothing like the original source yet are so drum friendly. Or you can have any tone sound like the original source with a better timbre. Also trigger sensitivity is resistant to ambient noise while remaining sensitive to light touch. Electric Drums will change the way percussionist view and perform their instrument just the way electric guitar changed music and playing styles making many famous of a new sound.

10. I WILL BE PUTTING UP ANOTHER KIT OF electric drums ON YOUTUBE FOR VIEWING to demonstrate the tone of the latest design.
You either figure it out from there or set up a personal demonstration LIVE to see what you can have.
class over.
