Digital Drum Kits


At A'gon member Ulf's recommendation, I got hold of the tremendous live DVD "Lindsey Buckingham at Bass Hall". His drummer gets this amazing kick drum sound out of a digital set. It looks really strange, but sounds amazing. Anyone know which drummers use these on recordings and do they generally sound so impressive. Any comment is appreciated.

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.
It may also be the recording - drums are almost always compressed and rarely sound lifelike on what is mastered for consumers - you may have found a good recording.
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)
