in the market..... kind of
Well I recently started considering what I thought I'd never consider and that is to get myself a nice e-kit. I'm not sure which brand to go with but I know what I want in front of me and that is this....
A kit that has 2 crashes preferably choke able (don't think chokeable or chokable are real words ) 3 zone ride, hi hat that will work partially open not just open and closed, 4 tom pads, 3 zone snare pad, kick pad large enough for 2 beaters, I will say mesh heads but not totally opposed to rubber, solid rack, easy to use module.
I first narrowed down choices of 4 kits which were the Alesis DM10X, the Ddrum DD5X, the KAT KT3, and the Simmons SD1500.
After hours of research, comparing and reading reviews I'm about to save another grand at least and get into the upper crust of one of these e-kits by way of Roland or Yamaha. Reason being of course, don't want to waste money on something that will start having issues, I want to get it right the first time because I want it to last for a very long time. It doesn't matter that I may never gig out with them I just want something good and reliable. But after reading reviews on these four it's hard to commit to any of them. There's some real horror stories out on all of them.
So with all that said can any of you experts here chime in and tell me your feeling about it? In a ballpark figure how much should I expect to spend? 2 grand? more?
I don't want a toy and I don't need to spend 8 grand either. Just a good reliable time tested e-kit. I should mention that it doesn't need to be a 6 piece right out of the box as long as the module has expansion abilities.
Thanks all for reading I know it was pretty lengthy.
