I love it though - seems to engage a different bit of brain than guitar.
I hate e-kits with a passion.
I have one- a Roland TD50K and everything about it sucks.
Most of my practice is done on a regular kit with mesh heads and low volume cymbals.
I've said the reasons why loads of times so won't bore you again.
My drum GAS is mostly centred around snare drums and cymbals.

Snare to a PDX100
Hi-Hat pedal to a FD-9
Module to a TD-17
Was also looking at picking up a TD17 module, along with a 2nd crash.How do you find the new snare & hi-hat pedal compared to stock?
My decision to change the module was due to the poor balancing of each part of the kit, the floor tom being a lot louder than anything else either the kick. I'm really pleased with the sounds of the TD17 in comparison but I guess I should be considering it alone cost more than the whole TD1 kit.
The hi-hat pedal is night and day compared to the standard one which doesn't really have any feel to it.
The snare is just a case of having something bigger to hit, I'd moved the kit pdx 8 snare to the low tom position, I'm already toying with maybe getting a bigger snare still and moving the pdx100 to the low tom and the pdx8 to the high tom position. It's those white plastic rings around the edge of the pad which are a nuisance.
I'd also forgot I'd replaced the cheap kick pedal that came as part of the bundle I bought with a Pearl P932.
Not wanting to replace what I miss I have decided on a different route.. the Alesis Sample Pad Pro with a PDX 12 snare... and some form of kick pedal I don't know which yet.
I've also got the PDX-12 snare and moved the PDX-100 to floor tom position and the PDX-8 to high tom.
Spend many more hours drumming than guitaring these days.
We bought a TD1DMK in the summer and just about to upgrade to the TD17KVX, mostly for the hihat, snare and TD17 module. Will probably throw a big ride on there as well.
My oldest and youngest sons are consuming the grades at the moment and loving it so I don't mind investing (oldest boys is also a guitarist)
Preset kits sound good, all drums and cymbals levels can be set and levelled individually.
The only thing we would look at upgrading at the moment would be the stand or potentially modifying the central section with two curved longer bar sections.
I'm also still very glad I'm only on an e-kit, GAS wise. I'm quite sure if I had a detached house and acoustic kit I'd have a shitload of snare drums by now.
Yep the ekits are practical and you don't get sucked into the snare and brass GAS!
I got a Pearl Traveler off ebay. Use mesh heads with internal triggers, Roland cymbals and hi-hat and a DrumIt Three. Small enough to leave set up, quiet enough to play any time and, more or less, like playing an acoustic kit.
Sizes are 22x14, 16x16, 13x19.
Can't wait.
Never doing e-drums again.

I'm no drummer, but, a few months back a couple mates asked if I'd play a bit of percussion for their acoustic duo. Basic cajon type stuff. Sure no problem.
We're now a 3 piece and the cajon with kick pedal has been joined by a snare, hats, ride and crash.
Finding it a lot of fun. We're getting quite a few gigs... well a few, 7 in December and turned 2 down due to availability.
A what stage should I just get a real kit lol
