OK, so in the interests of less back pain, I've started leaving my drums at the house we practice at. This is a good thing as we're getting together every 10 days or so and the band is progressing along nicely.
I'm thinking of getting a second set of drums and am considering an e-kit rather than regular drums. I'm thinking they would take up less room, partciularly if I bring the drums back to my house.
What are the pros and cons of e-drums? For example, how are rim shots handled (which is crucial to the first verse of "Can't You See" by the Marshall Tucker Band)? I'm not too worried about the different feel of e-drums since I'll be playing my "real" kit regularly. I'm thinking I mostly need it to just keep the chops going and rehearse with the songs we're playing.
Also any general thoughts on Roland vs. Simmons? I'm really thinking just entry-level - nothing to outrageous.
