Who owns the kit and (or) what are your opinions of them ?
I'm considering purchasing them for my home use...Thanks !

We use one at our church and as far as electronic drums go, they're the cream of the crop. You'll be very happy with them, I believe.
And if you wanna record, I recommend using the MIDI out of the module into an audio interface on your computer and triggering samples, such as Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0 or Fxpansion's BFD2 instead of recording with the module sounds. The module sounds are fine to practice with, but they definitely don't sound like real recorded drums. But the response and feel of the TD-20 kit is the best there is, IMO.
The main problem with the TD-20 (and 12) is actually the person behind the kit. As Garvin and others have alluded to, these kits are almost infinitely tweakable. Although the cymbal feel will never be perfect, everything else can be made to react very, very similarly to an acoustic kit with enough time and effort. Most people when they buy these kits do not do that, they just plug straight into the presets and are then disappointed.
You would buy new heads for your acoustic kit, why not a sample pack for your electric kit?
ALL EKITS HI HATS ARE EQUALLY AWFUL!!!!!!!!!
New version ? Do you have a link to the release info? Thanks.
