I have sold since late 2005.
I had bought in 2001 and in the meantime I bought a Yamaha DT Extrem.
To return the TD8, I confirm the quality of sound (always in ROLAND) against the rack for a little "cheap".
Pads "skin mesh" are comfortable ... too comfortable ... So much so that after only jou prs on for 2 years, I was scared the day on board on'm a traditional drumkit with real skin!
The rebounds are so easy on this type of pads that you forget the "ralitquot; ...
That's why I'm on a TD pass from Extrem team of real skin drum ...
On the cymbals I have not found terrible because they were simple pads.
I know that the Next-Generation Electronic drumkit, Roland rose sharply ... but frankly there was no harm to do ... and for the price I'd pay the era (24,000 FF) this n'tait not top notch.
So I deprecated this type of product for beginners o those who do not play every day parallle on real drums with real skin ...
Moreover sries Most recent internship at Roland returned to the rubber pads (except the CC) ))
This much, I tried a little rcente ago and it is true that it seems to ease a dconcertante test as just passing ...
And sounds of cymbals and the touch pad is very effective cymba.
But I prfre not too cut my feelings of real drums so ... a choice I would not renew the future!
