I think all manufacturers agree that when it comes to authenticity, audio drums can't be beat. IMO we need audio drums.
When I was demonstrating for Ketron in 2000 - 2001 - 2003 the SD1 was introduced as having "live drums". By far the Ketron SD1 drum were the most impressive to many artist. To this day I have not heard a keyboard with better drums.
Every song I recorded would not be the same if I did not have the authentic drums.
