Cheers to you all! I made a search but didn't find anything relative here it goes!
I intend to buy a v-drums kit next month. Maximum budget is about 1000 euros, I want it for quiet home use (I cant play my acoustic set here anymore) and maybe a little PC recording in the future.
I think I settled in these two:
Roland TD-4KX2
http://www.thomann.de/gr/roland_td4kx2_vdrum_compact_set.htm
Roland TD-11K
http://www.thomann.de/gr/roland_td_11k_v_drum_compact_set.htm
I know both are pretty decent sets, but I cant make a safe decision on whether I should prefer having better heads (mesh vs rubber) and cymbal triggers (TD4) or a brand new module with (in my opinion) better and more sounds and USB. I know TD-11KV has both of them, but it would be kind of an overkill for me right now.
Also the fact that the rubber toms on the TD-11 don't support rimshots troubles me a little. Will I have rimshots if I change the pads?
Another difference is the USB port TD-11 has, which have to make connecting it to e.g. superior drummer 2.0 much easier.
As for expandability, I don't find any differences between them, only 1 extra cymbal if I'm right.
For now I think it would be wiser to buy the TD-11 and upgrade the pads to mesh over time.
Any opinions or experience on this? Any help would be welcome!
