Pros and cons with an e-kit

Here is my list of pros and cons with an electric kit!

Pro

• Silent, I can play at home, in my house, even after the kids went to bed
• Diversity in sound. I tent to play in a lot different styles and I can easily adjust the sound of my kit accordingly
• Mobility! Just fold the kit together and take it under you arm (perhaps a tiny bit simplified ;-)  )
• Easy to record! Both midi and audio is connected to my sound card! Just press Record on my computer
•  One pad can have to different sounds depended where you hit it, for example one cymbal pad can be a thin crash and a china. Not an ultimate solution but it solves the third paragraph of cons below.
• Mix in! You can easily mix in drumless music and get a nice balanced soundstage.
• They don't break your sticks! I have never broken a pair of drum sticks on my e-kit! 
•  Tuning! You don't have to tune your kit. You can if you want to, but you don't need to!
• You can record what you play instantly with the controller
• They take up a lot of less space than an acoustic kit

Cons

• Just not the right feeling. It's good but not quite as good as acoustic!
• Sound! I don't know about the TD-20 or the TD-30 but the TD-9 is not just as nice sounding as an acoustic kit! However it sound hell of a lot better than a cheep acoustic kit! 
• Adding new stuff! My TD-9 has a limited number if in ports and they are all taken already. If I want to add more drums/cymbals/whatever I need another control unit and they cost a lot of money! Whit an acoustic kit I would not have this problem
• An electric kit can never, ever look cool on stage!
• Leaking of trigger signal to other pads. If you hit one trigger sometimes (not often) you get the sound from an other trigger, especially within the same pad
• No snare strainer.
• The love of a new cymbal! Yes, you can buy a new cymbal for your electronic kit, obviously, but you probably wouldn't spend hours and hours listen to it, touch it and feel it before deciding what cymbal you are going to buy!
• Personality! Yes, I love my TD-9 kit, but it will never have the same personality as my long last Perl First Session (my first kit)
• Did I mention that it will never, ever look cool on stage! 

My setup!

The Drumkit
When I was about to by my self my new kit two years ago, I though much about what kind of kit I wanted.  I had always played acoustic kits and that was what I was into this time around as well. But along the way I realized two things.

My kit, kind of...

1) If I have an acoustic kit I can't play at home. 2) I want to record my drums and my budget does not allow for a good kit and good microphones/triggers and stuff.
So for these to reasons I decided to go for an e-kit. I primary decided for an Roland HD-1, but I realized very soon that this was not what I wanted. I started to look into the TD-4K and TD-9K and soon I had a brand new Roland TD-9K in my house.

The bass drum pedal is and Perl P-902 (not in the picture) which I'm very happy with. I have supplemented the kit with one Roland CY-15 Ride cymbal and one additional pad (PD-8). I couldn't be more pleased (... well, If I had the new Roland TD30K, then perhaps I could be more happy)

Sound card. 
As I stated above, one of the reasons I bought a electronic kit was that it is so easy to record but for that I need a sound card. The card I choose was a Roland Edirol UA-25! A really price worth sound card with stereo in/out, midi in/out, digital in/out and a lot of other really sweet stuff. You can read more about it here.

The Guitar and amplifier 
I begin with my amplifier and then I end my Roland line up (no, Im not sponsored by Roland :-P ). My guitar amplifier is an Roland Cube 30. It's a fairly nice amplifier, good enough for my home studio! It has some good sound configuration possibilities, so I can easily make my sound pure metal or a more acoustic tone. Perhaps one how actually knows how to play the guitar has need for a better amplifier, but as a drummer, it's good enough for me!
  My guitar is an Gibson Epiphone Les Paul model with a warm nice sound. Perfect for my needs. Perhaps its not the best metal guitar, but for blues, rock and music like that it's a really nice guitar. I'm sorry but I do not know what pickups there is on the guitar, so I can not go in further on that.

Keyboard
The keyboard I use only to try bass licks/rhythms I use in my music. The keyboard is an old Casio CTK-631 I bought ages ago.
