Hi all
I'm a long time guitarist who decided to give learning drums a go. I live in an apartment building, so I can't get an acoustic drum kit. I've been looking at e-kits, and I understand that you probably get what you pay for in these instruments as well. But all the sub-1000$ kits seem to be pretty "big" kits, with three toms, several cymbals etc. What I wanted to ask is would it be possible (or a good idea) to buy a very basic kit of higher end models, to end up in the same sub-1000$ category. I'm thinking of just a bass drum, a snare and a hihat, to get started. Maybe one tom and a ride and a crash added later or something. Also what is the situation with the sound "engine" part; can you get it cheaper is it only has a few sounds? Does this make any sense?
I really don't now anything about this, so I apologize if this is a silly question.
Thanks!
