no but it will give it extremely close to it

let me know how that happens lol

You should fuck off.

A high-end e-kit is as good as an acoustic.

yeah ok, how many of the worlds greatest drummers practiced on E-kits?


And if you ask any professional drummer who actually has a CAREER, not people who use e-kits after they are rich/famous....what would they recommend for learning the drums?


Guess what kid, they recommend ACOUSTIC KITS.


You've already backed yourself into a wall. Don't bother arguing a point you know isn't true.

i bet you pretty much every top drummer has an e-kit xD

thomas lang practices on one


ofc acoustic kits are nicer feel
but if you have to compromise with an e-kit due to where u live etc, they are still nice

i know a drummer near where i live that uses one for live gigs

Exactly what hellohal said.
You shouldn't bother arguing because you know I'm right and that e-kits are as good as acoustics, except the feeling.

well, imo, feel is quite important. I would never play an e-kit, it just doesn't feel right. Anyways, the most advanced hardware/software combination in the world cannot emulate the feel of acoustic drums and real-world physics to produce realistic cymbals.

I agree, but Eep put it that way: If you can't play an acoustic, you'll never take drums seriously.
Which is false.

God you guys are so dense

re-read what I said again.


Sure, some of the best drummers have e-kits, but they started on and still recommend acoustics to NEW drummers for a reason.


And also, even if you WERE to have an e-drum kit that felt CLOSE to a real one, it would cost something like $3000+


You can get a good acoustic which sounds better and helps you learn better for MUCH cheaper.


I'm aware some people need to compromise, but if you want to learn drums CORRECTLY you should get an acoustic and just rent a studio somewhere or go to a music store and ask to practice there or something.


Because if you do perform live, you'll want to use an acoustic and guess what, if you switch from e-kit to acoustic, you won't know how to TUNE the drums, let alone play them correctly.

Well, I'm kinda with you on that one, I don't agree with his extreme position that you can never take drums seriously if you start out on an e-kit... The fact of the matter is, for a great period when you start an instrument, you are mostly building your muscle memory and dexterity. You are teaching your body first to be able to make the movements necessary to play. I think it's quite acceptable to start out on an e-kit, however, as mentioned before, it would be different from an acoustic set in many ways and (assuming a beginner at drums isn't willing to go all out) feel different. I may just be a little biased, I've played acoustic from the beginning, and the times I've played a e-kit, I hated it. But I suppose if somebody has never played drums, they could start out on electric, to build up basic skills first. =)
