Handicapped parking! Now see, there's a bonus I didn't even think of!

I think it is essintal to learn (rudiments, ghost notes, flams, drags, rolls, snare solos etc.)with practice pads if you don't have a real drum kit http://www.remo.com/portal/products/...acticepad.html with electronic kit you don't have dynamics, so you don't know how strongly or weakly you hit, or if your both hands make the same sound. It's cool to play beats and grooves with it though.

Actually, if I'm understanding you correctly, these do have dynamics. I mean, the harder you hit them the louder they get....is that what you're talking about? I can't tell a huge difference in feel between these and the acoustic set (but of course that's just like a novice guitarist not telling the difference between pickups or strings). The only thing I notice is that you have to be more accurate, because the tom heads are a smaller diameter. I can't really see how practice pads would be better for learning than these.

The first electronic kits had little or no touch sensitivity, but they have improved immensely in the past 20 years. Your kit looks great. I would love to have an electronic kit. Looks like a much better way to get a workout than a BowFlex, to me.

Those are super cool. I'd love to get a kit like that.

I guess the technology has changed a bit over the years, but it's still not perfect. I know that everytime I've been playing with electronic drumkit, they didn't worked anymore after I left. I guess I like to beat the shit out of everything that gets in my way . But just try to play with one practice pad, they are cheap. I think you will realise the difference pretty soon, if you practice with it.
