Hi guys, not posted for a while.
I am looking at getting an electric kit just for practising when I'm away from my acoustic kit (roughly mid weeks 3 or 4 months of the year). During the summer and at xmas the kit won't be used at all.
So my dilemma is this; do I literally just go as basic as possible (without being entirely terrible) like a second hand Roland td3, spend a little extra for a td4 or td6, or save a little and go for a td9? Then there is the option of the Alesis dm10 which comes with an awful lot of equipment for the price, but for the amount I will be using it is it worth the extra cash?
As a rough guide in the Uk the used prices are as follows;
td3; £300
td4 £400
6; £500
9; £600
DM10; £600
I had a td-12 in the past but sold it as I wasn't using it enough to warrant having spent so much on it (also I wanted a car haha). So I am aware these are not the best kits on the market and the hi hats in particular are a weakness of all mentioned but I suppose for the amount I will be using it it's not worth the extra £100-200 for a VH11 Hi hat
Anyway hope I haven't rambled on too long! As always would appreciate peoples inputs and thoughts on the subject!
Cheers
