The Oak custom is a solid sounding kit you could use for rock or funk, the Hipgig would work for jazz or pop etc. There was only really two drum kits that sounded anything like I could use as an instant drum kit replacement, these were the Oak Custom (009) and Hipgig kit (049). First thing I realised was that the vast majority of these kits are combinations of world percussion sounds, electronic drum sounds and sound effects. First thing I did was test out every pad in all 50 preset kits. I set up the kit out of the box, screwed on the adapter and attached it to the stand, plugged the hi-hat controller (HH40) and bass drum pedal (KD100) into the back and turned it on and started hitting pads. I chose the Yamaha because I wanted the 12 staggered pads rather than the Roland's flat eight and I could get the DTXM12 with stand, case and two pedals for the same price as the SPD30 alone. The main two options available were the Yamaha DTXM12 or the Roland SPD30. I have a full acoustic kit for gigs and a matching Roland kit for quiet practise but I was looking for a really portable kit for practising quietly, jamming or small gigs where a full acoustic kit/electric kit would not be practical or appropriate. Just bought a Yamaha DTXM12 and here is my initial thoughts.
