Digital Drum Kits

I think that the drummer was probably Walfredo Reyes Jr. I saw him using a set of the Roland V-Drums on an "in the studio" TV program with Lindsay Buckingham recently.

I understand the principle, as I have a Kawai digital piano. Digital keys work in a similar fashion and the current batch of high rez software (Garritan, Ivory, Piano Teq) is very good. I was just struck by the tone of Mr. Reyes' kick drum - a big, whopping sound that grabbed my attention. I was wondering if other drummers use the same tools to similar effect. Sloth, thanks. I'll definitely check out the Bela Fleck.

I love my V-Drums but you need to buy special samples as what they come with is only good - rather than awesome. V Expressions is where you can get some cool sounds for your kit.

I was a drummer for nearly twenty years. I know drums.

You might enjoy the V expressions custom kits much more than me. I bought the Hodgepodge - 30 kits - all Acoustic and more dynamic/realistic than what the TD-9 came with (although what it came with was quite exceptional as you say - I think Roland is hands down the leader in standard electronic drums)
