He'd just say Hart Pro hardware to a TD-20 brain.

2. You seriously think he is still on a TD20 when there is a TD30?

Yes, he is. He mentioned it on Facebook a week or so ago.

And he doesn't use the drum sounds of the TD-20, just the MIDI output.

Must admit I like the look of the hart hardware, especially cymbals & hihat, which is the weakest link in most e kits.

I've recently got a Roland td11k and so started to trawl the net for related bits. See below...

http://www.quartzpercussions.com

http://www.v-drumtips.com

http://www.vdrums.com

I imagine there is a lot more info on modding/making out there too.

Btw I really like the Roland kit and it is very expressive, and it happily lives in a very small space in the corner!
