I"m in the situation where I can get an e-kit for practicing and recording. Anybody have these that they can recommend or give advice?
Best bang for the buck is the DTXtreme III (used) or a new DTX950/900 kit....good bit cheaper than the TD-20 and every bit as good if not better....

Oh! That's interesting to hear. What makes the Yamaha better? Thanks...
- Three zones on all pads (ie., snare and toms) and cymbals..kick and hihat are single and dual zone respectively...
- Ability to sample your own sounds
- Ability to stack drum sounds/samples
- Real drum samples, such as Maple custom, Beech Custom, Birch Custom, etc..
- Support from 3rd party drum samples such OWD, SSD, yamaha europe
- Feature set on the module is better IMO...a little more editing capability, groove check, play along song selection is better (ability to drop drums out of preloaded songs for practice is a nice feature)
- Personally, IMO the snares and kicks are more realistic, toms are a wash...however, I'm sure you'll find Roland guys that would argue that...I have owned both brands....just my 2 cents...I would definitely try before you buy.....

I can drop the drums out of preloaded songs on my TD9 SX, I can't imaging that the 20's don't have the capability.....?
