I am trying to think of an intelligent response to "junk is junk" and "firewood is firewood".So-Until about 2 years ago I would have NOTHING to do with electronic drums.They are all crap,fake,or worse.Now here I am playing Roland electronic drums at my weekly church gig.They sound like drums.The band leader,who's had nothing but complaints about volume,is happy as a clam.I get compliments about my playing-not "those are too loud".So,please have some understanding regarding junk and firewood.In 1983 I would not have given 2 cents for a Tama set,and now I own 2.And happy father's day-
