    An electro?
    Well, that's..................expensively expensive! Right on!

    I myself will stick with acoustic drums, but I wouln't mind having an electro pad or two on my kit.

    You are so inspiring to me drum chick, your excitement is so contagious, listening to you makes me just want to go to my church and play, play, play.

    I think you are going to be a great drummer, and I think you are going to catch on very quickly.

    Now that I've actually "sat" behind and jammed on a real drum kit I can see why people have to make themselves do their rudiments (and hate it sometimes). If I had a drum kit I wouldn't want to do my rudiments LOL

    Drum chick I am so struggling with rudiments, not because I can't learn them, but because it is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring learning them, I am really trying to just suck it up and be bored and learn them, because once I get them down, I will be smokin on the kit.

    ddrumbum, my teacher gave me a paradiddle drill to practice this week and I'm having fun with it. You probably already know it (you know everything! LOL), but if you want it let me know and I'll PM when I get home.

    I told you it's fun! And your hopes for that Roland are respectable, they're cheaper than a set that big and have over like 80 different kits.

    Yeah - I've got a Roland and I love it.

    Great for practice (with headphones) and the crazy amount of sounds are endlessly inspiring. Not only imitations of acoustic kits, but also electronica, more percussion setups than I could imagine ... I've even got a Taiko kit set up to play that crazy Japanese drumming!

    You'll LOVE it!!!

    Jobby, does your Roland have the Pedal FX setting on it? Very techno sounding but I love it.

    Yeah - it's weird innit! I love messing around with that and the pitch-bend thing that the hi-hat pedal does.

    I know, it's crazy. Try a disco 4/4 beat on the hi hat and bass while hitting the left crash every other beat... Supposedly it's like the "secret" Roland beat that has mindboggling effects.

    That's cool. I've been thinking about taking some classes myself. Really I only play for fun, but I'd like to learn how to read music. A drum teacher I talked to said he could teach me in one lesson. (guess it's not as hard as I thought)
    I wouldn't mind playing with some other people, and I think reading music may help out a lot. I should go, just to get an idea on where I'm at, and where I want to be. (the next Neil Peart!) LOL yeah, that will never happen....
