Hi everyone. I'm brand new here and really want your advice on which E kit to buy next.
I've just sold my first ever E kit which is a Roland HD1 and now i'm looking to upgrade. I liked the HD1 because it was great for the space I had and is ok to learn some basics on. Downside to it was the horrible kick pedal and the lack of additional kits. There were only two presets on that set up that I ever really used and, like I said, was never happy with the kick sound or function on either of them.
I still only need a fairly basic kit but would like more variation in sounds and the ability to fine tune personal kits/settings.
Sets i've looked at for my budget, which is around the £400 mark, include the Yamaha DTX 500 and the Roland HD3. I'm leaning more towards the HD3 because although it has less kits it does have the mesh head snare and the cymbals or choke-able, which they are not on the Yamaha.
Pros for the Yamaha appear to be the number of presets available and I think there are more additional functions in the module for various things.
However, i've seen a TD4, TD6 and then the TD9 and TD4KP which all look great. Only problem is the cost starts creeping up and then some don't come with a kick pedal or they are too far away to collect. It's all very confusing and i'm at the stage where I need someone to say 'you should get THAT kit..'
So please, can you help me decide?
Thanks guys
