Electronic Drum Set - What to get?

I've considered the Roland V-Drum Pro set and the Alesis DMPro kit (20-bit module). I've heard the V-Drum Pro set, and like it, but haven't heard or played the Alesis kit. I'm not a drum expert at all, and can barely play, but I'm interested in getting one of these two sets for my electronic studio. Any advice on these two (or other) kits? I'm looking for the best kit - not just the best sound module.

Thanks for any advice,

Charles

I personally have a lot of fun playing the Roland V-drums.....especially the settings which include guitar and bass note samples in the trigger mix. I am waiting until they make it easier to add your own samples or easier to interface with ones own sample registry before I seriously contemplate purchases. It would be great if they included a microphone on the brain (control) box so one could pretty easily come up with original digital samples. A DAT or laptop (w/ microphone) would be needed for capturing sounds from the big wide world; and Roland should make it user friendly to add these samples to the brain box...............Just my

Definitely seriously consider the V-Drums. Great to play, and sound great too.

Remember with an electronic kit you'll also need to purchase a sound rig, or at the very least a good set of headphones.

I like the new v custom kit better than the v pro. I believe it also costs less than the v-pro. And I prefer the v custom to the alesis kit.

V-drums. End of discussion.

The V Custom (using the new TD8 module) uses less and smaller pads... the module is better designed however than the old (and rather square looking) TD10. But if you have the cash, go for the V Pro.

Take a look at www.v-drums.com

Sorry, that URL should have been www.vdrums.com

It's unnofficial, yet more comprehensive than Roland's own site.
