Practicing the drums for 25 years, has three weeks I use this hardware and I'm super satisfied.
Out before, I do not fit into the polmique against electro acoustic. I simply advised to have a good exprience of acoustics before and know how to hit correctly dj cc or cymbals. For me, the electro is another way of musical exploration, not a substitute. I play every day on my Sonor Delite also in my cellar. I know I'm lucky; ")

In short, the TD12, the +:
- Pads: trs playing sensation close to acoustic. The tension of the skin is adjustable but there are limits, you can not play trs "dtendu". The dynamics is Submitted and rims are nice (hit both the skin and the edges), especially on the DC.
- Module for use for those who practice this kind adj or similar device (squenceur, br, home studio), if not impossible.
- Connections and start trs simple thanks to reprages on the cables be inserted into the tubes of the rack.
- A range of almost infinite paramtres influencing each sound, so to speak, duly and dizziness! ...
- Sounds of excellent factory invoice.
The -:
- On the stand, no ring or stop reprage. Obligation to stick up for gaffes or other easily his set.
- Kits for factory build 40 (on 50): 3 minutes they are fun but not very usable. This machine is really made to "hack" your own sounds: you have to be curious and imaginative.
- No possibility to easily backup memory card other than transfer sysex matrisable difficult (not yet practical. J'espre the internal drumkit module does not lche every 3 months .. .
- Reduces memory locations: 50 (dj made it crushes those factory but we have the possibility to restore a kit or kits all factory)

Tips:
- Add this set to buy a cy15r (ride), it's really stunning that the bell is not sensitive trs (you must hit hard to make it sound).
- Do not forget to physically position The elements of the same set of your acoustic, attention therefore misleading Diameter pads.
- Get a headphone "neutral": no bass boost, otherwise your sound will fausss Obviously.
- If you do live or studio, test kits before you completely on the sound system. The report has in fact nothing to do with your headphones or stereo string. Balancing, qualization, effects, dynamics, we must readjust virtually everything (especially down at least 1 / 4 volume cymba HH ​​+ compared to DC + toms)

Conclusion: If you have to SAVINGS, Do not hesitate, it is always enjoyable to play on + the premium (but not always empty couraging). Anyway, a wonderful little machine, which does not replace a well-sr beautiful acoustic, but approaching a little bit of playing physical sensations vritables (set by the ddrum - and more!) . The pallets are excellent sound and almost unlimited opportunity to concoct his or her own personal sets make this unit tubes, plastics and circuit boards, vritable a musical instrument on which to spend a few sleepless nights working.
