Yamaha or[and] Roland
Buying my first electric set, and having been playing on an acoustic for about four years, I need a good feeling E-kit. To me, nothing compares to the feel of Yamaha's Textured Cellular Silicone surface haeds (TCS) I like them better than mesh heads, and the sounds on all the Yamaha modules are great too, (I haven't played around with the sounds much on the Rolands, but I'm sure they're adequate for a good feel.
That said, I think past a certain point, the roland modules are much better. There is more customization options with say, the roland TD12 module.
I plan to either buy a Yamaha DTX560k or a DTX700k - trying to decide if I can do without the better module for now, which is why I am asking this question.
Is the Roland TD12 drum module compatible with Yamaha's TCS DTX-PADs? (the ones with the tuning knob)
At this point I think I'm going with the DTX560k because I don't know which module is more suited to my needs. My heart is set on the TCS pads, so if the Roland module - Yamaha pad combination won't work, I'll just upgrade down the road to a DTX700 module.
Whats the verdict? Will it work?
I mean (for example) using a roland TD12 with Yamaha TCS pads?
