Smooth_groover Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Does anyone know how much one of those rubber pad set-ups costs? Ive decided to take up drums after an 8 year hiatus and I now live in a flat, so having a proper kit would be daft (unless my neighbours were deaf).I seen one in R&B but I aint prepaired to spend 1500 on one All I need is the rubber mats...Any suggestions?Mucho Apprecio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them feel much like a drumkit, but the more expensive ones are better. I think Dixon do at least a couple of different ones. Have to be honest though, even with the best of intentions, you'll probably find it hard to religiously practice on a rubber practice kit....they are just soooo boring to play.Alternative is to get an electronic kit like a Yamaha DTX and then you can just plug headphones in, but then you're obviously spending a few hundred quid....Have a chat with Duncan @ Bruce Millers....he'll sort you out.

Doc Ascension Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Yes i would suggest an electronic kit too - however i'm not a drummer but it seems like the sensible option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
