sir, i'm interested.
actually, im in the market right now and my eye was really on the roland v-drums TD3 being sold at about php52k, until i saw this post. if you're familiar with the roland models, they are mostly marketing nowadays their mesh type heads to get a realistic feel and "bounce" on the pad--- will this affect playing or is it more just a personal preference?
for the medeli, how's the response on the DD506 in terms of dynamics? like, if I hit it hard or soft, will it react the same way? also, I heard that the hihat pad can't keep up with fast hits.. maybe there is some adjustment option which will help?
being china-made, I honestly do have my initial reservations (well, if you think about it, practically everything is made in china nowadays anyway) because of the reputation of china-made products. with that, how do we go about the warranty? and the parts like pad replacements, defective electronics and repair. possibly, what if I wanted to buy additional pads or cymbal triggers and mounts, will you be having available spare parts for those as well?
I'm quite suprised searching medeli in youtube and finding that it is already being distributed in europe and some parts in US. hope you can assist me on these queries. kindly PM me also contact number and directions to your store please (where exactly in EDSA).
thanks,
