considered an electronic kit? ... play through headphones
Yes, though when they first started appearing i went to demo a Roland TDK and while i had a couple of hours of fun with the different sounds/kits, it just wasn't the same. The pads had no bounce or feel, the cymbals were still the weak point sound wise, i have played on a modern version the other year and they have definitely come a long way since the original kits, much improved feel and pretty convincing cymbals too, the price though i could not at the time justify for the amount of time i would actually play it now, though i am trying to get a friends dormant kit off of them, good cause and all that
I also looked into using triggers on a normal kit bitd, which makes more sense to me, though you are left with the same issues, noise or if using practice pads, a lack of feel.
