	<title><![CDATA[Acoustic vs. Electric Drums Now]]></title>
	<body><![CDATA[Not too long ago any ear could tell an electronic drum. Now, they're sounding pretty damn close to the real thing. But is it your right side that says you're somehow cheating? Any drummer that plays a nice electronic drum set knows they fell in love with it on the first hit. 

    How is it that, on the inside, you feel like a twelve year old kid that just got a go-cart but your face says "yeah, it's ok". You suppress, on different levels, your expression to make it seem like you'd rather play real drums. When in fact, you'd love to sit right there for hours and be left to it.

    Interesting how we feel about the electronic drums in this day, still. But you have to admit they're freakin' awesome to play. If you have never played an electronic drum set, whether it's because you're against them or you just haven't gotten around to it, just hit it once. I have both acoustic and electronic drum sets in a semi circle. The electronic drum set gets used 10 times more. 

    Acoustic drum sets will never fade. You can't beat it, you can get close but when I let a stick bounce on a drum I know where I'm at. It's a high maintenance piece of machinery that you just love to tune and play.

    Modern electronic drums are amazing but you can't match the grace and style of an acoustic set. They do compliment each other quite well when used as one big set and then you'd have the best of both worlds.
