Hmm again, this seems to go counter to my thought process... If you sign
up to learn to play lead guitar, they don't start you on an acoustic so
you get the "feel" of it. They start you with a guitar & amp. Same for
Bass guitar, they don't start you on a stand up acosutic bass with a bow.

This train of thought seems to imply that "edrums" are not "real" drums
and are some form of "lessor" stand-in for people who cannot use the
"real" thing. Is this the general consensus? That is, if various
obsticles (noise, storage space, etc.) were removed, we'd all have
acoustic sets?
