Demetris,

Light is good on e-drums, but the sticks don't make all of the 
difference. The major offender is overhitting. Rule of thumb: let the 
module do the work, or something--either you or your pads--will 
break. Brute force encounters the law of diminishing returns very 
quickly on e-drums. If you can keep your head, while others are 
losing there's, with the titaniums, they should be fine.
