A roland TD3 kit cost around Ł650, however is available with different pad from www.thomann.de for just Ł385. But will the out come be the same or not?

I think the best thing to do would be to either try it, or check out sound samples on youtube or somewhere similar to see the quality for yourself.

It's electronic, anything that triggers the sound by the brain should make the same sound? Am I right? In terms of comfortability of playing though, you should probably get something with mesh heads

I hire my studio out for bands to practise in and its amazing how much people break!!! this kit is to replace my mapex (which has had the bass drum split open!!) and i dont want to be having to do loads of repairs!
