I went and checked out a set last night, a TD-6V. It comes with the PD-120 mesh pad.

MAN. The mesh pad makes such a huge, huge difference, I absolutely love the feel to it.

The guy wanted the whole set for $725. I offered $600 and he wouldn't budge, $650 and he wouldn't budge. I wasn't willing to give $700 more out of principal than anything (that would only be $25 off!!). I was pissed all night about it. I checked craigslist prices again and saw that most of the TD-6V's were going for around $600-$700... and those don't have the mesh pad (which alone is what, $250?).

I called him this morning and caved. I'll be picking it up tonight for $700

I am going to be getting the TD-12S next year http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ro...SET-788690-i1437578.gc

I have played other less expensive ones, none come close to the feel, sound, and options(outside of acoustic of course)

Yamaha's DTXpress Special is really a great bargain though

and yes mesh heads do make a big difference

Have any of you hooked up any of these kits to either Guitar Hero (World Tour) or Rock Band?

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

Holy shit, how hard is that?

Gonna make some 80's Knight Rider music? Whenever Hasselhoff was breaking into some place in the dark they'd always bust out the electronic drums for the background music.

Yes!! Haha. I'm really stoked to play around with a bunch of the presets.

I use mine with Drummania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drummania using a Yamaha UX-16 (Midi to Usb) on the PS2.

For rock band I use one of these: http://www.bytearts.com/midi_lx/index.htm

The Guitar hero drum controller also has a midi in, so if you have one of those you can use that. However, since I only have a Japanese Ps2, the guitar hero drum controller doesn't work with rock band, so I couldn't do that.

Got everything setup last night and had a blast. The controller (TD-6V) has like 100 preset drum kits and at least 100 built in songs. All types of songs, too... Rock, Hip Hop, Jazz, everything.

I played like 20 of them last night and just couldn't quit. The songs have drums built in, but you can mute the drums to allow yourself to play with the music.

I'm gone this weekend... can't wait till I get back on Sunday!

Cool. Sounds like you're having fun. I'm getting back into music after a long delay. I needed some motivation so I bought a new EBMM JP6 and ordered a EBMM JP7 BFR as well as the new M/B MK V

Please stay away from Alesis. I've own some of their equipment in the past; not good.

Also, stay away from the TD-3 or it's replacement. The MIDI output circuitry has a lot of latency. If you ever wanted to use your electronic set to trigger external sound sets you won't be happy with the TD-3. The rest of Roland's line is good. I love those mesh drums.

the latency is not in the drums, it's from whatever you hooked it up to.
