Roland TD-12KXS V-Stage Electronic Drum Kit [REVIEW]
May 9th
I’ve always been a little sceptical about Electric / Electronic Drum Kits simply because they’re just not the same as a traditional acoustic Drum Kit. But I reckon companies such as Roland with their V-Drum products are almost on the money with producing the right feel and sound to make me seriously consider purchasing an Electronic Drum Kit. Maybe I’ve been ignorant to the vast improvements over the years, but at least I hope that’s about to change.
After watching a few YouTube videos of different reviews, solos and covers of people using Electronic Kits, I stumbled upon Roland’s TD-12KX V-Stage Electronic Drum Kit. And More >

TAMA Iron Cobra Coil Power Glide Double Bass Drum Pedal Review [HP900PSW]
Dec 26th
If you’re thinking about purchasing a new drum pedal for your kit, make sure you don’t overlook the TAMA Iron Cobra Power Power Glide Double Bass Drum Pedal.
The HP900PSW from TAMA is incredibly smooth and durable due to innovative features like the “Cobra Coil” pedal spring that quickly returns the footboard to its original position for a quicker, more natural feel.

Electric Drum Set Brands
Dec 4th

This is not the case.
So, here’s the list:
