Drum Set

What is the best electronic drum set for college?

I am a senior in high school and I want an electronic drum set to accompany me to college so that I can put in headphones and not get kicked out of my dorm. Compactness and portability are necessary for me. I want to give my roommate part of the room too, and I need to be able to take it home over Christmas and stuff like that. I also don't want to go over $1000. What would be my best bet?

You are spoilt for choice there. The Roland Vdrum kits such as TD3 and TD6 are favourites. You may also find the newer TD9 as well. This is a great kit and pretty compact too. Go for mesh heads as these are quieter and feel better to play.

Alternatively if space is a problem, look at a compact pad such as the Roland SPD-S. or even go the laptop option using something like an Alesis Control pad. This includes BFD lite drum software and has foot trigger options as well. Heck for a grand you could afford the pad, foot triggers, BFD 2 ( which knocks V drum sounds for 6) and maybe even your laptop

Good Luck
