Everyone has their own way to learn things they like and I still dont see a problem having an E-drum as the 1st kit to play.

Not at all.. Sure there will be difference in play but its minor. When u adjust to an acoustic kit, you dont need to relearn a whole new instrument. The only thing people who play ekit lose out on is how to adjust the acoustic drums, tuning and hardware related stuff.

Nicely said. I'm with you in this one.
Unfortunately, dynamics is very important. E-kit opens up creativity and variety in term of sounds but fails to replicate the dynamics of acoustic kits. Its best to practice both regularly.

E-drum is good but boring. You can hear the rubber sound more than you can hear the drum sound. The annoying tek tek sound drives me up the coconut tree to commit suicide. I rather connect the e-drum to myself and shout out the beat myself. But if you play it with high volume and a good amp, different story. Might as well get the real thing.
Cheers.
Ok bye.
Flame, why don't you go try out a Yamaha DTXtreme III for yourself.
You'll be then wondering, what rubber sound. Either ways, you don't need the amp, just headphones.
Anyway, I'm with the acoustic boys on this one. I feel that it certainly is detrimental top your learning..
Why?
1. Size. E-Kits tend to be much smaller than real ones, even the 7-8 piece ones. Some may argue that your hitting therefore becomes more accurate, but will you be comfortable behind a real set.
2. Bass drum rebound. Sure, it may not affect you that much, but wouldn't you agree that there is a difference?
3. E-Kits will probably teach you less about acoustic drumset dynamics and how real drums would REACT live.. You lose out on a lot there.`For example, cymbal strength control and tension rolling.
4. You can carry your cymbals and snares to gigs. E-kit cymbals and pads how? Half the time you wouldn't be able to get the sound you usually prefer.
5. Drum maintenance. I believe every drummer should learn how to change heads, replace lugs, stuff a drumset, mic a drumset, setup and tune a drumset.
6. You can experiment more with real kits.
My personal opinion. Don't get me wrong. I'd love an E-kit. In fact,I do love them. And in actual fact, I'm thinking of getting one. But I'm still about 15k away.

There are limitations in e drum as well as acoustic drums hence people make the choices based on their needs and ability. There's nothing to argue I guess
