I started learnign to play about 6 months ago, and joined this forum back then. I started with a DTXplorer electric. I posted questions like "Ekit vs accusitcs". advantages of one vs another, etc.
I got a bunch of replies, which didn't make much sense at the time....until now.
I have been playing on an ekit for all this time. My first instructor also used an ekit to teach (an $8000 Roland TD-20 or something). After we had our differences and I switched teachers, my new instructor teaches with two accustic sets, however the student set is in very bad shape, the bass drum barely makes a sound, and during our lessons, we are either at the practice pad, or playing exercises at the set, not really playing anything fun, so to speak.
I brought my new kit home Monday (pic below). I spend that day setting it up, and didn't have a chance to play it because when I was done it was almost 10pm, and I didn't want to piss off any neighbors. I then had a chance to play it last night.
Oh my f-ing god! It is so much more fun than my ekit it's ridiculous. The first thing I did was play along to RHCP Scar Tissue. What shocked me is that it is so much easier to make things sound and feel good on the accustic than on the ekit. There is no comparison.
i was naturally high for the next hour or so, in heaven, I just couldn't believe how fun it was, and that I was the one making those sounds.
I can't wait to go back to it after work... 6 hours and 27 minutes to go and counting
