So I'm a newbie trying to learn how to drum but I can't get an acoustic drum set (living in condo)..
Is there anyone here that can advise me on a few things?

1) Which would be a better option to get an electric drum set or an electric drum pad instead?
2) Any recommendations on an electric drum set/pad below RM 3500?

I did do some research here and there but I would like to hear from you guys as well.

Thanks

some say the feel of electric drum is very much different from playing a real drum but i personally like playing an electric one.

i play using a headphone at night and in the day, i will hooked it on an amp and it's a blast. u can connect to an MP3 or ur handphone and play along with the song. u can try downloading drumless tracks and fill ur own beats.

i once owned a Pearl Forum drum set and it disturb my neighbours so much i stopped playing and eventually had it sold off.

im now using another brand, XM, had it for 3-4 years and it still serves me well but my target in the future is the one below:

What?! Never knew that a V-drum set can cost that much! Is that price for a standard five-piece set? I bought a secondhand Roland V-Drum while I was studying for $400. Only the snare drum had the mesh-head pads, the rest were rubber pads. (I sold it off after a month for $500 because I had to fund a new laptop.)

My first kit was the Pearl Traveler Compact Drum Kit. You could switch heads between drum skins and mesh. If you are worried about bothering your neighbours but want to practice with somewhat real "feedback", give this kit a try.
