Long story short, while I was out of town someone in my family bought me an e-kit. It's a Simmons sd9k. I've heard that this set is crap. I wouldn't know, I've never played it. I have the receipt and it was right around a grand when everything was paid for.
The problem is, like everyone else, I want a Roland, but I've never heard anything about Simmons besides some reviews saying they were trash. Is this true, or is it honestly a fine kit that will serve it's purpose?
The closest Guitar Center to me is 3 hours away. I want to trade it for a Roland TD9K2-s ($1799), but I'm growing impatient and the box is RIGHT there to be opened.
Also, every place online says the TD9 isn't in stock and GC doesn't even know when they'll get one, so I either need to pay and not get it right there and end up waiting (the guy said they have no idea if itll be a week or a few months....) or I get all my money back, come home empty handed and wait until I see one in stock....or I can play this sd9k one right now.
What would you do and what are your honest thoughts on this sd9k?
