Attractive price so far. But play a TD10 before you buy one.
It should be fine for triggering computer-based sample sets. However I
wouldn't record with it alone and I don't think I'd be happy gigging
with it, the toms especially are not convincingly realistic, to my ear.
Also, this one lacks the expander card which you'd want. It has the old
style rubber pads for cymbals if that matters to you. It looks like it
has a pedal/trigger unit instead of a bass drum pad - you likely won't
get a double bass pedal working with that setup. So there may be
additional costs in all of that and it'll still only be a TD10.
Some drummers find the Roland mesh tom and snare pads too bouncy, I like
them, myself. But after spending an hour or so trying to get it to sound
convincing, and really wanting to like it, I was not impressed with the
TD10 module itself. My personal take: I think the TD20 would be above my
threshold of adequacy sound-wise, along with the DDrum4 and Yamaha
DTXtremeIIS, but the TD10 was below my threshold when I auditioned it.
Cheers,
