Is there a reason no one mentioned ENGL yet? I think they sound sexy.

As for the electronic kit, yeah I think it's a little gay. From a drummers perspective, it's a way to avoid having soundguys mic your drums a different way every night. It gives you control over your bands sound that is usually out of your hands.

However, from a fan perspective it still seems like "cheating". A lot of fans get the same way about bands that use kick drum "triggers". While there's plenty of people like myself and the people in this thread that know there is little difference in technique, etc..., there's still a lot of people that think that the electronics are still in some way compensating for some lack in your technique.

I can't even count how many times I've heard people criticize a drummer saying things like "he's using triggers. He's BARELY hitting the drums and then the triggers make everything sound louder and better."

And from any point of view, It just doesn't look the same without having a big old bulky drumkit up on the stage.
