I am essentially using electronic drums as a learning tool and for conviently scratching out ideas at low volume. I should probably write that out on paper and stick it to my electronic kit so that I don't lose sight of how it is serving me, and so that I'm not tempted again to throw more money at it. But it is soooo much better of an experience than using either finger pads or keys for playing drums, at least after ditching the elecronic hihat, because playing an elecronic hihat was a crap experience. And if I were a drummer recording an album, I would definitely want to be playing a real kit in a suitable recording environment. I think that no matter how good elecronic drums and samplers get, they will never replace the experience of playing an actual acoustic kit.
