Beginner - $750 USD budget, thinking about Roland TD-07DMK for metal. Worth it?
Hey everyone!
I’m new to drumming and just getting into it, mainly because I really wanna learn to play metal. Stuff with double kicks, fast snare work, all that good stuff
I live in Australia, and my budget is around $750 USD (so like $1100–$1150 AUD depending on the day). I’ve been looking at the Roland TD-07DMK and it seems solid. Mesh pads, MIDI, and it supports double pedals.
Would love to know:
- Is this kit good enough for metal practice long term?
- Is there anything else around that price in AUS that’s better?
- Any limitations I should know about?
I’m a complete beginner, so just trying to make the right choice early on without spending stupid money
Thanks in advance!
