I just went to an audition last night and played on a roland v-drum kit for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised. They are a decent set up with good voices and response. They still have a ways to go comapred to acoustic drums but were still quite impressive for electronic drums. I've never had much faith in electronic drums but these are not that bad. They definitely take a little getting used to in regards of stick response on the pad as it still feels like a practice pad. The snare is different though with it's screen type surface which provides a little more lifelike response. They're a great jamming kit for people with less room to set up a kit. The cymbals were dissapointing but then again I never really got to explore all the options within the program.
I just wanted to hear a bit more feedback from other drummers and their opinions of v-drums. Especially forom someone who plays them on a regular basis. I think they're OK but still have a lot of making up to do to get to the sound of good acoustic drums. I personally play on a Mapex saturn series kit and don't think I'll be joining the electronis ranks full time anytime soon.

when the road gets too long and the days hard and weary...... play some more music and lose yourself in the flow
