I have wanted to get into drumming for a while and have finally decided to take the plunge. For noise reasons and for the ability to run it into my mac I'm going electronic. The majority of reviews I find online prefer Yamaha over Roland. I really like the sound of Roland's software that lets you "play" against others online, in a sort of gamification way of learning but over all Yamaha seems to be recommend for it's superior sound and expandability.
So now which model? I was initially looking in the $1000 range but I decided on the DTX532 over the DTX522 for the real hi hat. After looking at the DTX562 I'm torn. If I were to upgrade to the better DTX-PADs later, it would cost me a bit more than if I were to get them included up front. But a) will I as a beginner be able to notice a difference or get any benefit from them now and b) is it worth the upgrade now because I'll want them eventually? I don't mind saving a while longer, I just want to make sure I'm not wasting money.
For that matter maybe I should drop back the 400 series to see if this is even something I'll stick with? I've wanted to get into drumming for years so I'm pretty sure this isn't a passing phase.
Thanks for any help or feedback you can offer,
