Default Electric Drum Kits

Just a random question to the other musicians of the board. I was curious to any opinions regarding electric drums. I play guitar and piano, but would like to get into a bit of drumming for the guitar tracks I record.

I'd perfer acoustic (traditional) drums, but I have a small house and a g/f that hates loud noises. An electric set seems like it'd be good for learning on (quieter, and much easier for my pc recording setup) but I don't want drums that sound like midi music either (I could just do that with a standard PC keyboard).

I know that electric drums don't sound as good as acoustic drums in that sense, but can they still be passable? The music I record is modern rock, not techno/industrial or heavily sythesized.

Would they be worth it, or should I buy another instrument to learn instead?
