Hey, I have an Alesis DM5 kit that I might be persuaded to sell.
http://alesis.com/dm5kit for a picture.
I got it in May 2007 and brought it over from America. It's got some wear and tear on it (as I regularly beat the hell out of it.) But everything still works mostly in its original capacity.
In addition to the DM5 as the core kit, I have a Roland KD-8 Kick Trigger Pad
http://www.roland.com/products/com/KD-8/images/top_L.jpg
(much better IMO than the slab of plastic that came with it), and the Alesis ControlPad,
http://alesis.com/controlpad.
The kit itself is pretty good. The pads are plastic coated in rubber, and they give a pretty good response. The only complaint I'd have with them is when doing fast drumrolls (as they don't bounce as much as a regular drumhead). The DM5 Drum Module gives amazing sound, though. No shit, when played through headphones (otherwise you're going to hear the clicking of the sticks on the pads), this thing rocks. The Roland kick makes it much quieter (a serious concern for apartment dwellers), and the Control Pad adds 8 pads, which I've mounted to the right arm of the kit.
If you're interested in the kit, or the kit with any of the goodies, PM me or email me at rabies.kills AT gmail. If you live in Seoul, you can come over, play it, check it out, make an offer or politely decline, whatever.
(In case you're wondering why I'm selling, I think I may have broken my foot a while back and it makes playing drums painful. So while it heals, I may as well save up for the Roland dreamkit. It's only 4 million won at Nagwon ... <sigh>) |
Thanks for the info on this one but after some more research I think I'm going to hold out for a Roland kit with the mesh drum pads. |

| I got a pretty sweet Yamaha set off auction.co.kr at a decent price too. I think it is the DTXpress |

I think this is the best way to go, zen. Get a Korean buddy to help you purchase one at an auction site.
