Here in Israel, you can't find all the high-end keyboards. You can order them, but you need to pay for them (-:

Anyway, can you name the keyboards that has the most realistic drums in styles?
I an the owner of PSR-3000, and although it is a great keyboard, all Yamaha's drums are dull.

If you can add some demos to prove your choose it will be great!

Agree with Taike, Ketron ... the SD series boards and Midjay have very nice drums as well.
Ciao,
Jerry

Yes.

Even the relatively inexpensive Ketron SD2 sound module has rather nice drumkits in it.

Connect the MIDI out of your keyboard to it and you have an upgrade in sound without paying the cost of replacing the entire keyboard.

Having played nearly all the TOTL and MOTL arranger keyboards during the past year the only statement I could make about this is they're ALL very good. Much of this will depend upon how the keyboard and the PA is EQ'd, which is the case with any electronic instrument. The Ketron drum sounds seem a bit harsh or crisp in comparison to Yamaha, Korg and Roland. Much of this, however, is somewhat subjective, and more often than not it is style dependent. With some styles, you will want the drums a bit subdued, while with others, techno, rock, dance, etc.., you would probably want hotter drums. And, with some TOTL keyboards, you can assign certain features to independent outputs. Sorry if this sounds confusing, but like I said, this particular component is very subjective.

Good luck on your decision,

Gary

IMO, Ketron Audya, is far superior to anything I've heard.
