and really Guinness...you can take you condescending attitude and LOOK up the differences yourself. I don't need to waste time listing all the weak points...and like I said it isn't needed anyway. There ARE no comparisons.
Orangeblood. My apologies. My comments were not intented to sound condensending, except for the tongue and cheek/sarcastic ending comment. (That's one of the challenges with written messages: voice inflection is not present.) I was trying to come to your defense by pointing out that you have different needs.
I jumped into this conversation because I am simply curious as to what you like about it, and the differences. I respect your opinion. I would like the hear the differences. But like you said, "look up the differences yourself". (ok. next time I'm somewhere that has one of the units, I'll sit down and play around with and learn for myself. I just thought you'd be able to demostrate the differences, as you're in the unique position of owning both.) But this has turned into a small little flame war, and I think it'd be best to just drop the subject.
Have a good day.
Your right I took it the wrong way....obviously you meant different, so Im sorry too.
Like I said I it's actually wrong to compare...there not in the same price point, nor are they marketed to the same people...at least I hope that Alesis isn't marketing to the working drummer with the DM10.
From sounds, pads, hi-hat, sampling, layering, stacking, alternate mode, triggering, no-crosstalk(out of the box), free-kits, even little things like controlling snare buzz after you hit a tom or kick....etc, etc. The list is too long...honestly.
My beef is that Saturday I took the DM10 out to play...what an embarrassment. I do not know how the other member plays this kit out. False triggering is a joke. It shouldn't take every ounce of patience and frankly is embarrassing. If it can't handle stage use, then IMO it is a waste of money and time...period.
This kit is made for jamming to itunes and that's it.
But again....I shouldn't, nor is it right to compare. You say you want a list...this thread basically asks for everything that is already on the yammie...honestly it's just scratching the surface.
I now have to buy new heads or put back on the OSP heads....ya it's a fine jamming kit, but damn how much time and money do you have to spend to make it work right? Might as well spend the extra $500 or so and get a kit that doesn't require fine tuning everytime you move it, or DIY work and time.
$1400 for the Pro + $300 for heads + time fiddling= $250(to me) $1950....couple hundred more and you have a kit that wipes your ass for you.(not really for all you literal folks). That's nothing if you think about it, so you have to wait a little longer. Maybe the pro feels better, all I know is the studio kit feels like a hasbro toy in comparison.
I have a DM10 studio for-sale $500+shipping if anyone wants one.
