Why play electronic drums?

Drummers sometimes find themselves stuck in traditional methods – drums should be made of wood, cymbals should be round and made of bronze, and so on. But are today’s drummers going through a similar experience as guitar players or pianists did when electric guitars or synthesizers emerged?

So, what are the advantages? Firstly, the sounds available on electronic kits are unmatched. To achieve similar sounds on an acoustic kit, you would need to invest a significant amount, which may be beyond the budget of many people.
Need a new set of cymbals? Well, you can save up your hard-earned money for a year or two to buy some… Or simply press a button on your electronic kit, and voila! You have a fresh set of cymbals, or even a cowbell, or whatever you can imagine.
