TD4 vs TD4KX vs TD9 vs TD9KX?

[yoyodyne]

Hi!
I’m a happy EZdrummer user. I’ve been using a padKontrol to lay down tracks for almost two years and I’d like to step forward in drumming and buy an actual V-Drum kit.

It seems like the new roland TD4KX packs a lot for the price (retails roughly at a 1000€ where I live) like chokable cymbals and head/rim triggering on snare and toms.

Yet I’d like to have a kit that supports a reasonable range of articulations on the snare and hi-hat as these are key to nailing realistic parts.

I have a 2000€ budget, and have been considering both the TD4 and the TD9,
but so far I couldn’t exactly figure out the exact differences between the TD4 and the TD9 as far as triggering is concerned.

Or Perhaps should I consider other alternatives like Drumit Five?

I guess DrumIt five is hard to consider since it seems to be terribly delayed…and nobody appears to have a clue as to when it will available

Then there’s also the new Alesis http://www.alesis.com/dm10prokit …lurking on the horizon.
The module has 12 inputs…so plenty of room to expand.

I really though the 2box drumit5 was out already, I’ve seen it listed on a lot of eShops ?!

Actually me and my drummer wanted to buy this eKit so that he could lay down tracks without having to mic his kit, and so that I could practise the instrument on my own.

I’ve just discovered what positional sensing was, and was wondering how well it worked with toontrack products, and also if it was really annoying not to have it.

how does superior work when there is no position information? does it randomly pick a sample between center and rim or does it always hit center ?

It randomly picks a sample and works great.
