The Electronic drum is ideal for those who are living with neighbours who are very sensitive to noise. Since this product has a controllable sound, you do not need to doll up your space and turn it into a sound proof room. It saves on space and can be easily situated anywhere in your bedroom or living room. It is easier to clean since there are lesser metal parts such as the cymbals and stands for your high hat and drums.
Another obvious benefit of this kind of drum is that it can be a good tool for recording purposes as the sound comes out clean already. It also has a built-in metronome, making it easier for you to set your tempo. Some have their own switches to define a particular beat intended for the music that you are making. It also has a built-in recording feature that makes it easier to manipulate when recording. It does not entail too much adjustment as compared to the acoustic drums. With regard to the price of these drums sets, there are available units that are relatively cheaper depending on your intended purpose.
On the other hand, the electric drum set has its own fair share of loopholes. Since everything is electric, you can easily distinguish a live drumbeat sound from an electric one. Of course, the sound of an acoustic drum set is more realistic and precise. That is why this kind of drum kit is not as reliable as the acoustic one. This drum kit is not ideal for live performances as the sound may be drowned out by the other instruments. Also, the sound does not travel as far, and does not make an impact to create a great deal of vibration in an enclosed room nor in an open space.
Since the sound of this kind of drums is raw, it does not appeal too much with professional drummers. They can immediately identify the difference in the sound from an acoustic drum set. They prefer the acoustic over the electric because they are able to execute their skills more accurately. The feel of the music is made more alive.
