Im moving to an apartment where I have a nice spot where I won't bother any neighbors so Im planning on buying a v-drum set to finally practice everyday. This kit sells for around 2000 euros and I love the sensitivity it has. Check it out. With some superior samples I think it could be the bomb.

Let me know your opinion.

WOw this kid really makes good use of them

You'll love them for about three months, and then sell them within twelve months.

I recall you got one, which model was it?

I have my acoustics on a rehearsal space but it's kinda far from the center of the city and I can't always go there. I used to have some Rolands back in the day and loved them. Then I bought kits from other brands but sold them because the feel was not convincing enough for me.

For me being able to practice home everyday would be absolute bliss man.

Maybe you'll be fine. I just found that it was too different. You're basically learning different skills and working on a totally different touch. Something like acoustic piano vs. synthesizer, but maybe even more drastic. I wish I could get into them though.

It really is like learning a new instrument. I don't think there's anythig wrong with that, but it's not totally unlike moving between electric bass and upright bass.

Playing with Superior is a blast. The latency can be noticeable, but it's not bad. All the room mikes make the Sup 2.0 kit sound a like a million bucks. You do not need a DAW as it comes with a standalone app to instantly play. If you have the money to blow, then do it.

I shouldn't blow the money that's for sure, but im miserable only practicing once or twice a week, I want to play drums at least a couple hours everyday, and this will allow me to.
It only became possible because I am moving to an apartment without neighbors below me, even if the kit is very quiet, the drum pedal vibration will make any neighbor below you hate your guts.

Roland has always made a great electronic kit, but have always been a little overpriced for what you are getting(in my opinion). If you are dropping 2000 euro, I would consider looking at the 2Box Drumit Five set. I have been following their progress since the 2008 NAMM show in LA, and was impressed at how well the drums felt to play, the trigger sensitivity,the sounds, the interchangeability of the heads(use any head you want), and many other aspects of the kit/module. They seem to have come a long way since then, and other than they are hard to find(nearly impossible here in the states), I have heard nothing but good things. Again, my opinion, but you are getting the same quality,and versatlity of a Roland TD20, or the high end Yamaha electronic kit for less than half of the cost. Definitely worth a look.

Or, just get a real feel type Split Surface style pad, and a bass drum practice pad. Use a double pedal, snare stand, and a metronome. I did this in an apartment for a year. Kept my chops up and came a away with some great minimal kit concepts.
