You would prefer an acoustic kit and have 3 grand as a budget?
Lets assume that 3 will turn into 5 in the next couple years with a new module,add a pad somewhere.Maybe a fancy double pedal.
Now you are talking the kind of budget that can soundproof for the acoustic kit,if the acoustic kit is indeed your preference.
I dont know your situation,but assuming the worst that you are surrounded by neighbors top bottom and all sides,then I would suggest moving your creative mind out and soon.
If it is more a matter of the house next door,then strongly consider soundproofing a room.Going down that road has much much more room for growth and potential than working around the latest electronic technology.You can now play your acoustic kit any time you want,and also just created a perfect recording environment.
Just saying,if you would prefer the acoustic kit,and have the money to play with,then to me its simple.Most get the cheap e-kit because they are surrounded by neighbors and broke.So if you're not so surrounded,and not so broke,then consider making an actual investment that will still be effective in 50 years.
If you just have too many neighbors,just move.I wouldnt be able to live with myself if I turned my back on my own needs,all to satisfy a pissy neighbor.Seriously,I have had cool neighbors who would let me play loud and late,and ones who didnt,but I could never lift a stick without thinking about how loud I am being in that situation.Never truly let go and got into the creative vibes,more just on edge if im about to get an earful from a neighbor.
Sorry I didnt really answer anything.I just heard that you had money,and were about to spend it on something you would rather not.To me that meant you were overlooking more important options than which version of something you would settle for.
Oh and if you later give up on the drums,you just created a very cool theater.
