Electronic Drums Suggestions

[John]

Hello, I have EZ Drummer/Drumkit From Hell and Superior Drummer/Metal Foundry and want to purchase a used electronic drum set. My budget is less than $400. Are there certain specs or features I need to have so I am not disappointed with performance, latency, sound quality, etc. It seems like all the drum brains Im looking at are 16 bit. I’m currently look at these on Craigslist: OSP DD502 mkii Electronic Drums – $200, Roland TD-5 Electronic Drum Kit – $249, Roland TD-4 Electronic Drumset – $450, Yamaha DTXplorer Electronic drumset $380.00 OBO, Alesis dm5 – $325, Alesis DM6 drumset – $375. Not sure if these are newer or older models. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I’d post this on this vdrums forum. http://www.vdrums.com

I have an DTX 900 and am not familiar enough with the models you posted to give a good suggestion.

Intel 13900K, Windows 11 , Cubase Pro 13.0.30, Studio One 6.2.1.64495, 64GB RAM, UA Apollo x4 and UA Apollo X8 Thunderbolt,, 64 sample buffer size, Radeon 570, 42″ 4k monitor

The td4 works very well.

I would say only the TD4 and not lower than that.

Well I finally went and made an electronic drum purchase for $500. It was one of those too good to pass up deals. I bought a Hart Dynamic electronic drum kit with a Roland TD-6V module, the snare has been upgraded to the professional snare ($350), the kick drum has been upgraded to the Rolanrd KD-120 ($450), all the head are mesh and it came with a Pearl P2002C Eliminator double kick drum pedal. Can any one direct me to instructions on how to set up Superior Drummer to work with it now?
