   Well, I must say, that I do like how the black drum tops look like sunglasses from a distance, and that is not a bad thing to see with one’s eyes on a sunny morning such as it is.

   I dunno…there’s a certain Animalistic (pun intended) satisfaction that comes with hitting real drums really, really hard. There’s also that satisfying feeling of browsing through music stores and garage sales, always keeping your ears open for the woodblock or crash cymbal that produces just the right sound that you’d like to incorporate into your kit.

   Then again, the home-recording enthusiast is limited by space and budget. Certainly you can’t be expected to get an entire brass or woodwind section into your garage. Perhaps that’s a debate for him, then; to what extent do you sacrifice the authentic “feel” of creating music to the reality of the home-recording environment?

   Don’t ask me. I’m mostly talking out of my butt.

   The latter reason is right on the money, as far aas what’s appealing to me about the set. Also appealing is the option to practice at all hours of day or evening with headphones, but without neighbors’ complaints! (And more importantly, without embarassment, as in my case..;)

   But you’re right…there’s nothing quite like the feeling of wailing on a snare to funky groove; no other instrument gives as wide of channel of physical release. I still get the same un-erasable grin when I play on a real set.

   For composition, recording, and space-saving purposes, though, an electronic set can have great benefits.

    Hi,

    Building my own E drum kit & saving big $$$ is certainly intriguing. I already own a Zoom MRT-3b drum machine which puts out some great sounds & can be MIDI triggered, which leads me to the question of how to interface between the piezo transducers and the MRT3 ? Anybody have any ideas ? Thanx.

       you need a trigger to midi processor like the alesis trigger i/o, you then plug that into the midi in of your module or use it via usb to control software.
