Planning ahead here - early indications are that I won't be able to get my SDS 9 restored for some while (just had a quote from Synthrestore and it coincides with over £2k bill for work on my car, so timing not good...)& it would then be gone for a while.
Probably heresy, but I was contemplating buying a cheap other brain so that me & a Small Person could keep practising and then have as a backup. I could probably slip ca £50 through the budget, seeing as we're paying for drumming lessons. A quick ebay scan has thrown up an Alesis DM5. A trawl through the posts here suggest that my SDS9 pads will trigger this OK? Or is this likely to be just as temperamental?
Can anyone advise on a suitable cheap backup till I can get the SDS sorted?
Many thanks
Jonathan

Anyone had any experience of Antech Systems (http://www.antech-systems.com/) in Hailsham? Not too far from me & I could deliver personally rather than post.
