Dear Roel,
I agree with you that the drums of the 7000 in someway do lack in comparisson with the so beloved SD1. I myself also own that ketron-type. Ketron drums are far more realistic, much thicker (powerfull and groovylike, efficient for live gigs) than the 7000. But on the other hand, you must agree, its all a mather of taste as well as of personal mood.When I'm in a mancholic mood I always love to turn on my 6000 (for its smooth and harmonic overall concept). When I'm exuberant, on the other hand, I love it to gig on my ketron (much more steamy).
By the way Roel, (rally) Paul is not family of mine.
Greetings,
Gert-Jan
