A new standard in e-drums?!?!?!

looks nice but sounds so fake and lifeless thanks to the toontrack sounds, but it may be nice with SSD or other great samples.
Nothing can beat real drums.

I'm a drummer, and I wouldn't buy it.
They didn't sound good at all to me. In fact, even my good old TD-6 has some built-in cymbal sounds that sounded better than those. If those were Toontrack samples, they're clearly the worst of the lot.
Besides, why not install mesh-heads on a real drumset and trigger them? The compact size of e-drums is also a huge plus for me, but I can see why someone would like their e-drums to look like real drums. Those "real brass cymbals" aren't invented by Pearl either, AFAIK. Alesis has had their Surge line out for quite some time now.
on a sidenote, somehow Jordison really looked like he's struggling with those things

I don't get the point at all.
REAL SOUND
REAL LOOKS
REAL SIZE
REAL HARDWARE
REAL CYMBALS
REAL ... what the fuck? It's real drums! What the hell is the point?
Just get a set of triggers instead of spending money on some shit like this. Or do it the REAL REAL way - play real acoustic drums.
E-kits should be small, that's sort of the whole point for me at least. Why would I want an e-kit as big as my acoustic kit? Where the hell would I put it?

maybe i didn't understand right but
you wrote that it sounds so fake and lifeless thanks to the toontrack sounds
and one second after that you mention SSD. don't get me wrong SSD
is an awesome product but SSD on it's own sounds really synthetic and not very natural IMHO!
cheers

is an awesome product but SSD alone sounds almost synthetic and not very natural!

Yeah but far better than the Toontrack stuff

Yeah, the toontrack sounds are at the end, until then its just stock shit kit sounds.

Very end of the video makes me think tho - wonder if they'll sell the heads separately to load in an existing kit and have an e-kit?

How much 'Toontrack stuff' have you actually used? I find S2.0 sounds fairly realistic when I'm playing through it. But even the samples at SSD site sound absolutely nothing like the real thing. If I bought SSD, it would only come to complement S2.0.
I can post some samples of why I think S2.0 sounds more real than SSD, if you post some samples of why you think SSD sounds more real than S2.0. Just so we can compare.

Or just move on with your life and realize that not everyone has the same tastes??

It's going to make just as much noise as a real drum kit. The only use for this is if you don't want to program drums.
I don't think it's a matter of taste. I'm also curious - I want to hear if SSD really can sound realistic when used properly.
