Ok so I know its a while off but in around 2 years time I will (hopefully) go to university. However I don't want to give up drums and I wont be allowed to play an acoustic kit in a flat. But thing is the problem/annoying thing I have always found with electric kits is there 'drums' aren't normal size (12" 14" 16" etc) and i find them awkward and uncomfortable to play. So my question is, is there anyway to get electronic drums that are acoustic drum sizes?
Thanks

Check out Roland Vdrums, most mesh head kits feel better then rubber pads
Verify our range to target, one ping only…

Yes, you can get regular drum size heads in mesh and put them on
ELECTRIC DRUMS and have the coolest mesh kit in the world.

The smaller sizes will only make you become a more accurate drummer

There's also the option of an acoustic to electronic conversion kit . There are several companies out there now making acoustic style electronic kits and also there's the DIY method . A set of mesh heads and some triggers and your still playing full size drums . Nice thing also is with mesh heads the option for virtually silent playing is possible without a major compromise in the feel of the kit .
