The module on the electronic kit will be a direct replacement offering the choice of different sounds. Roland kits feature a drum coach which tracks your playing and accuracy.
Roland is part of DW so you can also go to hybrid and then full acoustic drums if you want over time
It has a kick pedal but requires a hi-hat stand, which is why hi-hats aren't set up here. Will PM with more details if you like. I think mum would just like it out of her guest bedroom at this stage!
The cheap mesh heads aren't a lot better than rubber, mind! The good ones can be tensioned and will have a little give resembling a snare. The poor ones are faking it
I started having lessons about 5 weeks back and bought an electric kit about 2 weeks ago. By far the best thing I’ve bought in a looong time! After lots of research I went for the Alesis Strata Core and haven’t regretted it.
There are some videos on my insta profile if you want to get a flavour for how it looks and sounds in the hands of a total novice 😂. Most swear by Roland and Yamaha and they are great. Alesis was good value tho and released new modules in the last year so felt ahead on tech front.
The quality is very good these days. Lots of places will have demo kits for you to try first.
They're not for me but still very good.
If it's a noise issue check out mesh heads on an acoustic kit and low volume cymbals. That's what I use 1000x preferable for me.
I’ve got a Roland, an older model that’s the equivalent of the TD17 (the one that uses a proper hi-hat stand) and it’s a joy to play. The cymbals are the bit that feel least accurate but a million times better than not playing!
Me too. I met the Dorset Geeky Coffee squad yesterday and @hellostu.xyz (who we are all living vicariously through anyway) told me he is learning drums and has an electric drum kit.

It seems like a way to expend some energy and make some noise without actually disturbing anyone, because I'll never be a drummer.
Your brain will thank you for it when you get older
(Plus it’s such good fun!)

Definitely go to your nearest retailer to see and feel the kits for yourself as it all comes down to personal preference

I've got an old Boss DR 660 drum machine, could I use that with an electronic drum kit?

It drove me insane. Not so much the noise but the fact that after 3 years he still could not do a straight 4 on the floor.
You could always start out with a good drum pad
