They produce the best sounding drums you can have in a home studio set up.No miking,stands,drum booth or sneezing from someone watching.
The only better sound would be in a pro studio with all the soundproofing and mike placements etc...
The vexpressions are next on my wish list.

Look around and ask questions before you decide you want to spend mucho coin on these tubs.
My drummer got his a month ago and loves the natural feel of the mesh heads.
I love the sounds and the recording ease.

I can't speak directly about the TD-20 but I do have a TD-8 (factory sounds leave a lot to be desired) that I use to trigger DFH Custom & Vintage samples. These samples IMO will proived far better sounding drums then any canned factory drum brain sound.

If I were just starting to look at electronic drums/samples, I'd go with something like a TD-3 (very inexpensive) and use it to trigger either DFH Superior and/or DFH custom & vintage samples. With DFH you get about 35G of samples but, you will need a fairly decent PC; especally, if you want to trigger the samples in "real-time" while actually playing live.
