All I have to do is listen to Telmos demos...and I know it's the sound I like (T4).
I guess if I was a kid, liked heavy metal or any heavy modern music, I may, jusy May have a different need...but I am NOT.
Since I play for myself, and family (not drunkun dancers at a wedding etc) and like music like Telmo & Robbie does (and many others here) .....I don't for sure want drums that blow me off my seat....don't like that kind of live music and don't like that kind of arranger music.

I do like instruments that sound great and as much like the real thing as possible...WHEN PLAYING my kind of music.
