So, here is my mission: I want to find a way to practice as realistically as possible while on a business training endeavor for 2 weeks.
I will be stuck in a hotel room for two weeks doing some training for work, and the idea of not being able to practice grates against my soul. Being away from my normal setup where I am able to shed for a few hours a day on my acoustic kit gives me severe cognitive dissonance, so I figured I would try and source an electronic and see if I can stuff it in a suitcase. I need to consider weight, as there is a limit of 50lbs for checked luggage, and the electronic kit would need to be able to be broken down into a large suitcase.
Has anyone ever done anything like this? If so, what E-Kit was it and did you have any headaches in the process? I once took my DW practice pad kit with me (throne and pedal included) to Hawaii, and that helped keep me from getting too rusty, but I am keen on seeing if I can do this with as realistic of an E-Kit as possible.
The price range for the kit is 1.5K-2K as I also plan on using it as a home practice solution too, so I am willing to invest.
The only other option to this would be maybe renting an electronic kit for a couple of weeks from somewhere? Not even sure if that service exists. Renting studio space just for jamming would be a bit too pricey I think.
Cheers
