One question I have is about the rebound or whatever you call it. Like, when you do a roll on a drum, you use the rebound. Is the touch of electronic drums similar to real drums?
No,it isn't.But it depends on what you mean by "touch".Even on my cheapie Yamaha the pads are sensitive to how hard you hit them.The top of the line stuff is a lot more responsive to things like flams & ruffs,but IMO they don't come close to a real set.

But if you're talking about the feel of the pads,again,no they don't feel like real drums,they're like a practice pad on the lesser-expensive stuff.But that's OK if you're used to a practice pad & they're easy to get used to.
