Re: Questions about used E-kits.
If you're lucky enough, you might have a friend who knows their electronic percussion gear who might help you inspect that set. I have Roland and Alesis pads...the only few items that I bought second hand for my two electronic sets here in my teaching room are two Roland Octapads and two Alesis DM5 modules (one of each for each kit) else everything else was new. One thing I will say though is that if if you're paying cheap, dirt cheap for a new electronic kit....it may be too good to be true...you could find pads that fall apart after months or a couple of years or unreliable modules, problematic leads, whatever. If you can get that TD9 kit for under $1000 and it seems problem free, I'd rather get a reliable kit like that than something at that same price being new but dubious. For example, the stuff put out by Ddrum and Simmons are a lot more dodgy than the better made products these two companies made years ago....I suppose that was the inevitable thing when they both got bought out and then had their logos rebadging poorly made sets. You do get what you pay for, for a reason.
