I recommend Roland V-Drums for any serious drummer looking at electronics, but "recording" with an electronic kit kind of defeats the purpose of recording. The sound you can make with an electronic drum is limited by what it’s computer can do on the fly. Electronic drums and drum software lack the soul of acoustic drums, which is why acoustic drums are recorded instead of everything being done electronically. If you really want it to sound the best, use an acoustic kit or computer software. Any recorded electronic kit will just sound like cheap drum software on a recording! Anything you can record with electronic drums will never be able to sound as good as something done with good computer software, because computer software gives you the effects and attention to detail that takes to much power to be done real-time by a electronic drumkit’s brain.
I recommend investing in an acoustic recording setup and/or good drum software and a few drum sample libraries.
there are many to chose from, yamaha dt express is good or roland vdrum excellent. depending on budget.
totally agree with young’an – v drums are the best.
Moving on a step, if you dont want to buy an acoustic kit, i can recommend the sample cd’s ‘double platinum drums’. I use them on most of my recordings – they are acoustic samples over 2 cd’s containing many loops and individual hits.
