Hi guys,
I am new to drums. I need electronic drums so I don't disturb my neighbors while I practice, but I don't know what to buy. My budget is $500 or less.
I have seen the Alesis DM6 on eBay for less than $300 new (not used).
Guitar Center has the Yamaha DTXplorer for $499 on sale right now.
There is a used Yamaha DTXpress on Craigslist about an hour and a half from me for $300.
I have also seen used Traps ePads on Musicians Friend for $209 which would leave me money left over to buy a used set of acoustic drums and still be within my budget, but I don't know if the Traps are any good.
I've seen Simmons and Ion sets too.
I'm open to your suggestions of other sets I didn't mention. I really could use your advice on what is a good starter set of electric drums so I can learn. The guy I'm taking lessons from doesn't know anything about electronic drums.
Thanks
xoxo
