i currently have a yamaha dtxplorer at home for practicing and i would like to upgrade to a better kit. i've always fancied a roland and i've been looking at the td9-kx2 model because i like the hi-hat on a stand and mesh heads (including kick). as this kit is only for practicing my budget is £1500 (absolute max) and my priorities are as follows:
- quiet heads (i'm trying to eliminate the annoying sound you get from hitting the rubber pads on a dtxplorer)
- hi-hat mounted on a real stand (i know you have to supply the stand separate)
- heads that feel as realistic as possible
- the option to easily record i.e. via usb or sd card, etc
- a nice play along/teaching feature would be a bonus but not a necessity
my main priority is trying to cut down on the "thud" of the pads. the td9-kx2 seems to tick all the boxes, but are there any better alternatives out there?
thanks
