Roland TD316 or Yamaha DTX6K5-M
I did my online homework and I also got a chance to play one of those new Roland models (not the TD316, I think it was a higher-end set) and I would like to get this community's opinion on what they think would be the best purchase option for my background.
I am not an absolute beginner, but nor am I anywhere near of becoming a gigging drummer. I've only owned and played acoustic drums so far, but now I don't have any drum set and I can't be that loud where I live. As a lifetime hobbyist I love to play different instruments, I used to record at my previous place... but drums is not my main instrument. However, I won't be the only one playing it if I get a set.
I don't know much about electronic drums and I've been trying to learn more about it lately, but I know I want a real instrument, not a toy and also my hi-hats on a stand.
What would be the best option between Roland TD316 and Yamaha DTX6K5-M? Or do you think I should look into another model? (The TD316 is a quite pricey option that would stretch my budget as I would need to get the hi-hats stand, the kick pedal...)
