 Re: looking to buy an electronic drum kit, which one?
My guess as a drummer would be the feel of a cymbal. The really good electric ones have 3 sounds (pretty badass IMO): the "crash" sound (hitting the side of a cymbal), the "ride" sound (hitting the cymbal with the stick tip), and the bell. Most ekits don't have this 3 sound cymbal. Even so you can't do "weird" stuff with the ecymbals. For example, with the metal loop on the opposite end of my brushes, I can make a really cool "zing" sound effect by sliding it across the cymbal.
The pads don't have the same bounce, the same movement on the stand (especially the hats), or the same range of sounds.
