How do I put this. Can I say that getting an e-kit as your first kit is detrimental to your development as a drummer?

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.

I record and listen back whenever I can. It's part and parcel of practice.
Other than that I use weights too, and mirrors... whenever I can la
Drum is pretty much physical so it should be tackled with the mindset of an athlete.

Not necessarily. You may just need a good headphone for drum.
To me, E-drum is perfect for home studio.

I can enjoy late night band practice with my friends while my wife watching dvd.

3. is beginning with edrum really detrimental to my learning? T_T
4. planning to go kl next month to buy drumset, but what should i check on to see if the drumset's good? ^^
