The sounds on my dm10 module, to me, seem much more realistic than any roland ones I've heard online.
I've been playing on and off on jamkazam, latest update with media relay server thing seems really good btw, and quite a few people have commented on how good the drums sound, and surprised they were e-drums!
I think Alesis stuff is great, v good VFM, I teach on these a bit, well did, so the realistic mesh/foam backed, acoustically quiet, not too bouncy feel and realistic head tension is important, I gather roland pads are quite bouncy?
I think that roland and other edrum co's thought they would create edrum-only players that would benefit from small bouncy pads, but I really want realism for practice/teaching.
1) Is the strike pro a significant step up from a dm10 studio with hellfire mesh head conversion (many years ago, but thank you hellfire!), snare sensitivity, ride / bell playability, tom feel etc?
2) should I buy strike pro SE or save more for a td27kv?
I'm thinking online jams/teaching/gigs might be a thing I should blow my savings on, as being a carer for my misses, 8 months isolation so far and many more to go yet, I'm not going to get out gigging for ages, then a whole load more shite in the uk from brexit and vaccine roll-out, the rich get richer and ...
Keep drumming, best way to stay sane and a bit of exercise too
