I'm looking to buy an entry level electric kit. I'm a guitarist that wants to try my hand at drumming so I don't want to spend too much. I have found a Roland TD-3Kit and a Yamaha DTXplorer advertised locally for the same price and I'd like to get some opinions on them.
Note that the Roland TD-3 is the version without the mesh snare, it is the older TD-3kit version with 4 x PD-8 pads (2 toms, snare and hi-hat), as well as two CY-8's for the cymbals.
Pad-wise they seem to be pretty similar with the Yamaha having the benefit of one extra single trigger tom, whereas the Roland has the advantage of full cymbals which are also dual trigger.
Are these the only differences in the pads?
How do the modules compare between the two?
Is one a better buy than the other?
