Well, I stopped by Music Go Round today and picked up a new Pearl bass pedal, to use on the Pintech Kick Trigger I ordered yesterday from Musicians Friend. I also ordered half a dozen 20' guitar cables and a Pintech Trigger Cymbal I had wanted to try out. After careful consideration, I decided I'm going to order another Yamaha DTXpress III on Friday, February 4. I've done a lot of research, which I intend to post online, comparing just about every e-drum set under $2,000 and have come to the conclusion that the DTX III is by far the best module (Compared to the Roland TD-3 and TD-6, Alesis DM5, and Pintech's EZ) and the trigger set is one of the best in the price range, and the only to include a THREE zone snare pad.
I had certain other gripes about other sets:
Pintech EZ - $800 - Only Two Toms, one zone snare, and a recycled Pacific Digital module. (Mesh Pads)
Pintech Spirit USA Plus -$820 - Has a K-3/L-3 bass trigger, which sucks. Also, no module. (Mesh Pads)
Hart Dynamics Prodigy - $500 - Poor quality, everything is made of plastic. (This IS the cheapest set however and it DOES come with MESH pads.)
Roland TD-3 - $800 - Module sucks (8 SINGLE-ZONE inputs, bleh), Only two toms. (Rubber Pads)
I intend on eventualy adding a couple cymbals to the Yamaha set, probably Pintech PC series and atleast one additional pad (Probably a Roland PD-8, but Maybe a Pintech CC102ST).
As I have already mentioned, I am going to be taking offers on my old Roland electronic drum set...
here are the specs:
Roland TD-3 Module
TAMA Power Tower Rack (Heavy duty / made for acoustic drums)
Four Single-Zone TAMA Pads with replaceable heads
Two Pearl Cymbal Boom attatchments (sprayed flat black)
Pintech PC10 Hihat Trigger
Pintech kick trigger
Digitech RP-1 Effects Floorboard
Lots of extra TAMA Rack hardware, Cables to connect everything and the needed Power supplies.
