having recently played my brother's Roland electronic kit, the current
state of the art seems to be a much more affordable but quite limited
version of the Simmons SDX!
Hi Chris, no I don't think so ... SDX is unique for the worse & the best ... & quite opposed to the Roland.
Roland stays very good triggering Quality &reliable system, but quite poor Sound quality compared to the price it's sold...
For me it sound like toys...
SDx is much better in term of profesionnal sound due to the Voices/ Cem, sort of architecture quite expensive but that gives some real polyphony & massive dynamic (nothing like multiplexing)
after the SDx is quite limited dynamically even if still very sensitive... the routing isn't finished, the software is ok but not finished etc ...
That makes it disapointing if you dreamt of the perfect kit, that it promised to be & that everybody thought it was when it came out... Sadly the rest is history.
Personnaly I kept the SDx & never bought Roland. But I guess that you're not wrong as Roland took the place that the SDX or the ddrum3 had on the market.
cheers
Patrice.
