   Yes. Yes, I think I will.

   It is finally time to graduate from fake plastic drums (e.g. Rock Band) and learn this instrument I've been in love with since I was a kid.

     @techmiker I live in an apartment, so a proper kit just isn't feasible right now. But if I'm able to dedicated myself to properly learning and playing the digital drums (and I'll use them for recording my songs as well), then a proper analog kit is the first thing I'll buy when moving into a larger place!

     @killyourfm that's on the wishlist here too. I can almost fit one in my music room if I get rid of an amp...

     @killyourfm I have that kit (to play Rockband 3 with) and I really like it :Blobhaj_Ani_Hophop:

     It only has two problems:
     - The bass drum needs some cinder blocks and a carpet underneath to stop it from moving around (I mounted it on a granite floor tile)
     - The "thump" it produces can still be a bit loud depending on your building, a rubber mat for washing machines cut to size can help with that

     @hirnsushi Nice Steam Deck too!

     Thanks again for the pointers. I have no doubt I'll be defined as an aggressive drummer, so this is awesome to know.

     @killyourfm That's how my bass drum looks now.

     2€ granite tile, rubber mat (feet under the plate as well), all held together by extra strong double-sided tape, hasn't failed me yet.

     It's very heavy, but after a year of fighting with a wandering bass drum I'd say definitely worth the effort.
