Ummm... not all. There's the phenominal $5,000 roland V-Drums, which I assure you, no matter what, will sound great. The deciding factor(s) though is/are 1: the amp/headphones that are being used and the drum kit settings you are using. I have the standard V-Drums set which after a few long sessions of fiddling, I found a great kit sound that I love. I used my Marshall 50dfx as a speaker and it sounds super. Excellent and easy way to record. One cable required apposed to about 6 or 7.
