Drums: Roland V set vs. Acoustic?

Question

I really want a drum set, and my parents finally said yes. I have not told them about electric sets yet, cause i don't want them to only let me have an electric set because of volume control.

I've looked at the Roland TD-6SXT V-Tour Series Electronic Drum Set, and it seems nice. It has mesh heads which i hear are imortant.

but should i get electric or acoustic?

all my musician friends tell me the only reason they would ever get electric is to be able to play at night (volume control).

Is it easy to learn on an electric set then switch to acoustic?

how good is the sound quality?

i suppose i would mainly just be playing by myself for now, becuase i play bass and guitar and in bands playing both guitar and bass. drums would be more of a hobby until i get good.

am i able to plug the electric sets into my mac for recording?

i am leaning towards electric, but all my musican friends say acoustic. what should i get?

please be descriptive as possible.

thanks.

i am interested in learning how to play on an electric set then eventually move to acoustic. the pro i understand of learning on an electric set is learning to play with a metronome and having a tuned set all the time. learing to play with a metronome is key, as it is the basis for all drumming.

Answer 1

its always good to start out with acousit..just like guitar. if ur worried about volume, just buy drum mutes.....that what i did. they are not that expensive. about $8 for each mute

Answer 2

Roland Td-6sxt

Answer 3

Yeah G is correct. An electronic drum module generally only has enough input ports to support the number of drums and cymbals that come with it so adding more means investing in a second drum module which is very expensive.
