Electric Drums

OK, I know that acoustic drums are not every drummer's favorite and that electronic drums do have a part to play, BUT, what about the crack, crack that only an acoustic snare can produce. You know, that captivating sound that all drummers love. I try to like the sound of electronic drums, really I do, but when I hear the real thing I am hooked. I'm old school I guess!

Have you ever seen a marching band with an electronic drum line? Boy, they would need some serious extension cords. When playing electronic drums, be sure to always pay the light bill and pray that the soundman does not have a hangover. What I am trying to say, is acoustic drums are self-sufficient where electronic drums depend on a lot of other factors. The drummer is responsible for the sound of his own acoustics' and no one else. They can be played any time any place.

Stepping into the age of electronics many things which were not thought of could be changed are gradually being converted. No one in those days could think of an electric guitar or a electric piano. Even with the change the functions are much easier.

Likewise you had acoustic drums and nowadays the electronic drums have taken the music field. Electronic drums do not have the fineness of sound reproduction but are beneficial in many other ways. Electronic instruments works with simply a signal produced and amplified and in that respect is no acoustic sound generated from it.

An electronic drum kit overcomes the main difficulty for citizens who live within an apartment building -- sound. With an electronic set, you have the capability to toss on a pair of headphones and mess about as loud as you like. The single sound your neighbors would be able to hear is your sticks hitting the pads and I promise that your television or CD player gets noisier than that.

Space is another problem if your going to use an electronic drum set in an apartment. There is not sufficient room to fit a drum kit unless you are willing to sacrifice your huge pieces of furniture. With an electronic drum set, you don't have the "bulk" that you have with an acoustic kit. If you need to, you can even take an electronic set down after you were completed and keep it inside a cupboard or corner somewhere.
