Off: you can delete everything from Amazon links starting from ref= (it's all junk, search keywords, tracking id, affiliate code etc.)

on: I think feel is very subjective and the only way to know is by trying various pads, and even then there can be big differences between brands, or based on size, thickness and tuning. When I put my acoustic snare up the kit in place of my mesh one, strangely it felt bouncier.

Will make sure to shorten the links next time. Apologies Dora.
I have been playing e-kits for so long that now it takes me a little to get used to the volume of the acoustic not the feel. Acoustics just seem too loud to me now.

Amazon is the one who should apologize. :) (And also google search with their useless result links where you can't copy the original url.)

I can't copy anything that google returns as an ad because our server blocks all those links (NSA doesn't want you going to anything fun). So I have to usually go to amazon, and I post the links so that others don't have to do extensive searches or maybe even become aware that some of those things exist. Yes Amazon is the one that should apologize.

I tried the TCS heads and to me they felt nothing like my acoustic heads, they were more reminiscent of the old Simmons hexagon pads which were made of wood covered by a very thin rubber coating so they were very stiff and hurt your wrists when playing them for long. By contrast the mesh heads felt much more like acoustic heads. Maybe you need to tune tighten the mesh head (you can do that on most mesh head kits) so that they are not as bouncy. once you do that you get much closer to acoustic feel, they are not as bouncy.

I've tried many mesh head ekits, and use our guitarists one at rehearsal, so have tried tuning them, and feel the complete opposite to you! But that's what I mean when I say you have to try first. At this level it's a lot of money if you find you don't like the feel of the kit.
PS I hate mesh heads that much that I prefer the cheapest rubber pad ekit to the most expensive Roland mesh kit!

Then an entry level Simmons + a VST such as Superior Drummer should be the ticket.
