Anyone here play? I got the TD-6kx kit about six weeks ago. I'm 34 now and I've probably wanted to play drums for the past 30 years.
The only time I've even sat at a kit, ever, was when I was four years old. I remember holding brushes (yeah, not even sticks) and playing along to some Finnish grown-up's music.
The only thing that annoys me about this kit is the lousy hihat pedal, it's fucking hopeless for something in this price range. The mesh heads feel great, not that I know how real skins feel.
I didn't get the kit just out of the blue. I've always been doing it with my hands and feet anyway. My dad knows morse code from the military and he told me years ago about these insane para-diddle training techniques they used. It didn't mean much to me then, but now I'm obsessed with them.
Some para diddles, variations and rolls

I've got a TD3 and desperately need a TD6 seeing as no real drummer can stand the fakeness of the TD3 brain for as long as I have.

Been drumming since I was 13, I stopped at 20, been itching to get back on a kit. The V drums are great, but really fucking expensive !
I'm on the hunt for some sort of apartment solution drum kit so I can start recording rock music again !

I was going for the TD3 first, but changed my mind as soon as I tried the TD6kx with mesh heads on everything except kick.
Freqy, I went back to the store with the pedal, but there's nothing wrong with it. I mean the low volume, randomness of the different sounds like when you are going at a steady pace with your left foot and suddenly you get one of those really open sounds. There's no distinct bottom position for the pedal. It's like there's a rubbery sponge underneath working as a trigger. Then there's the stories of them becoming permanently open after a while. I noticed the pedal in the store didn't close nearly as much as mine. Sort of a buzz even when playing closed with sticks.
I don't play to CDs, I just plug in my MP3-player directly. I play alot to the looping bars in the module also. The swing stuff is fun.
Rudster, the kit is in a corner of my living room and my dad has my laptop at the moment. I still have a shitload of synthesizers I haven't used in ages (busy with photography). Maybe this music thing is coming back.

Looks nice! I'd love to have those volume(?) sliders on the module. With the TD-6 you have to go in and edit the kit.
