I reckon you'll love them. They are so much more responsive than any electric kit. It's now 9 years since I played on a real kit. I really miss the power of them. I hope you do get to play yours at full volume sometimes. Maybe when everyone is out and the windows are all closed? I doubt the neighbours would hear too much where you are. Sadly I couldn't have real drums here as the music room is too small and I'm in a terrace..imagine the complaints. 😂

I hope I can get away with playing them, at least when I'm home alone. There are various options of quiet cymbals and heads of it's a problem. I'm wondering how they can work with the band. Would I drown everyone out?
My Roland is pretty sensitive, but you don't get at that resonance. I'll have to look into how I can record the new kit properly.
I've played a full kit against a piano accompaniment..the piano wasn't amplified...so yeah it can be done, but you have to be able to play with a very light touch and brushes are very useful for that.
I need to try brushes. They don't work on electronic kits
That is so...they just tickle electronic drums rather than making a noise. 😀
I'm going to see if I can check out some low noise cymbals. I wonder if they could still be loud enough for band sessions.
They may well be..I've never used any so I can't advise.
I'll pop into the music shop in Bedford at the weekend to see what they have. There is a lack of actual shops where you can try things out. The Drumeo community can be helpful for hints on gear as they have tried most options between them.
