I believe that both Roland and the Yamaha will be fine. The only thing that the TD50 has over the others is the digital snare & ride. Although you could also argue against this.

If you don’t care for the digital snare & ride I’d say go for the TD30KV as Roland always triggers great (I am biased btw 😉 ). I can’t say anything appropriate about the Yamaha kits as I haven’t played those other than in a music store.

The Pearl Mimic Pro is just a module (and not a kit) that contains the Steven Slate Drums 5 on board and triggers VST sounds directly from the modules. Sounds great and if used for playing live you don’t have to drag a laptop around. Check out the VDrums forum on some preview sounds for the upcoming Mimic Pro update.

I never went for the DIY option but that is because of me 😉
