Hello, this is my first post, and i'm 16 and have been drumming on an acoustic Mapex Voyager for around a year now. However, I am not satisfied with the positioning of the kit, the sound of the bass drum, and just not thrilled with it in general. I like electric kits from Yamaha, because they are a better buy than Roland kits. I'm looking at the Yamaha DTX 430K, the Yamaha DTX 450k, and if I can save the money for it (and maybe sell my acoustic kit) the Yamaha DTX 522k. A few questions
1. Despite what the Yamaha reps say, can a double bass pedal (a DW 3002) fit on the electric kick pad and trigger consistently?
2. Are the kits durable? As in do I frequently have to replace the pads
3. Is the DTX 522K ($999.99) worth the extra $400 up from the 430K(599.99)?
4. What headphones would fully bring out the sounds in the kits? Under $100 that is
5. Do the kits have a quality build in general? As in do the parts feel cheap or well made
That's bout it. Appreciate any help. Happy drumming!
