if you want something that sounds, feels and looks good in a low budget look into "pintech" drums ...its the offbrand of vdrums but not as expensive..they feel like the vdums too..i like them...but then...they aren't the best thing in the world....

 

[hoops]

I would go with Roland's TD3sw. I have played the pintechs. Roland still plays better. Even there cheap kits do.

i second that...you could never compare a pintech to a roland..but pintech is a little cheaper...but if i had the money i would sell my pintech and buy a roland..

 

[hoops]

Check out the NAMM video on this page. It is Johnny Rabb demoing this kit. Man that guy has control.

tks for the replys...

the roland looks very impressive, from looking at that vid the sound is more realistic than i tought it would be for the price, the kits that sell for 2,000-3,000euro and even over 5,000euro must be mind blowing...

the td-3sw can be got for 999euro
over here rolands cheapest kit is the td-3kw thats going at 879euro

the kit i posted earlier a friend was asking me about that and i met him this evening and he said he ordered it today, but for under 400euro i cant imagine it being anything more than a kids toy

Raven46,
"...than i tought it would be..."
That's brilliant - you write with an accent!
Sorry, no offence intended!
The euro thing is really hard to translate into AUS$ - I could almost do it with UKquid but a Euro is the biggest kangaroo downunder.
