Yes, you are right there.
It's a must to have the kids play on a real drum to get the feel of 
it. The idea was to have an extra drum in the room for the electronic 
feel as well, i think few students get to play a e-drum kit.
I also wanted some opinions on how durable it really was and to know 
if it can endure hard long hours of sticking all around the pads for 
ex. for teaching day in day out!!
Ok,bye.
