    Hi
    This is my first post here. Please be gentle!

    After 5 years playing drums (orchestral and kit) I gave up due to work commitments. This was 30 years ago and one stroke later, I've decided to give it a go again. I'm not sure how well this is going to work, so I don't want to spend £££ on kit that may hardly get used, so I'm looking around the £300 mark either used or new.

    After much searching DD502(J) looks favorite new
    and Yamaha DTXpress used.
    I am into cubase, keyboards and midi so I would like something that could talk to my PC as well as having a good thrash with other musically minded mates.

    How can I find out the differences between the DD range? DD402, DD501,DD502,DD505 etc? Which support rim shots, choke, multi-zone, drum heads/pads etc
    I would really value anyone's thoughts or suggestions. Am I pursuing the right angle on this?
    Thanks

    Steve

    So you are looking more into electric drums eh? I am no expert in e-drums but I have tried a DD-502mkII. It really sounds pretty good. I do hope other members would get back at you on which e-drum to get.
