i think there was already a thread about this, but i can't seem to find it, and yes i searched for it. i am extremely interested in learning how to play the drums, but unfortunately i live on the third floor of an apartment building so a traditional drumset is out of the question. i figure i can at least learn the fundamentals first on an electric. is there a good but fairly cheap one anyone can recommend? i've heard the name Roland mentioned before, but not a specific model. i'm willing to spend a little bit of money, not a ton but enough to get a good one. i figure they start out very basic, but can you buy more pieces to add on? any info anyone can provide would be most helpful.

i'm also 6'5, and i don't know if the sets are built to accomodate a yeti. i'm assuming its adjustable.

im not a drummer but my guess is if you learned on an electric kit, you would end up being a very soft hitter.

I would suggest buying a real drumset and buying those practice pads to dull the sound. For the money you would spend on an electric drumset you could buy a very nice used set. And then when you learn to play you will already have a drumset to use and will be easier to find people to jam with. Plus, electric drumsets just arnt metal.

Yeti wants to be the next Rick Allen.

i thought about that as well, one other thing i wondered was if you could adjust the sensitivity so you'd have to hit harder.

These should do the trick
