Electronic drums

[Corzhens]

Is the electronic drum getting popular? How would it fare with the traditional drums? We have a neighbor who has an electronic drum that their daughter is using for practice. Maybe she wants to be a drummer. It's just unfortunate that the volume of the drum was too loud that our neighbors would complain when she uses the electronic drum. I guess its portability is a big plus over the traditional drum in terms of transport. However, I know that drummers would prefer the traditional drums over the electronic that they see as only a toy.

Top-of-the-line electronic drums are awesome! However, they're expensive! Anyway, one benefit is silence (You can turn down the volume or use headphones) and that's needed in an apartment. Also, as you say, it's much easier to move them.

I think you're referring to Fischer-Price ones

This is a surprising news to me. I don't know that there are electronic drums, it looks amazing to have such kind of instruments because the original orthodox drum is getting obsolete and it's kind of difficult to learn. I will try this out whenever I get the chance to do so.

The first time I saw electronic drum online I coudn't believe that such a thing exists. But when I saw some demo at YouTube, the gadget really sounded like a drum, with all the cymbals, base, and clapper that a usual drum set has. I tried ordering one, but I didn't want to settle for a cheaper price and didn't have enough money for a decent one which costs about 5K. I'm planning to buy one in the near future though.

We don't want to forget what a fun toy it is! It's a lot like an electronic keyboard in the number of different sounds.

My favourite is
Roland TD-1KV

Notable features of this kit include:

• 15 kits + percussion sounds
• Built in metronome
• Easy recording and playback
• Outputs for headphones and amplifiers
• Smartphone/Mp3 connect for play-along
• USB connect for computer recording

One of the best parts of this kit is the upgraded mesh snare, which years ago, was only available on higher-end kits.
