Are E-drums Realistic Enough? What’s Still Missing?

Electronic drums have come a long way — but are they already realistic enough? In this video, I look at where e-drums are today, how much extra detail really matters once the drums are sitting in a full mix, why that detail still matters to the drummer, and where I think the next meaningful improvements might come from. I also talk about recording my Abandoned Souls Make It Last EP on an older Roland TD-25 using Superior Drummer, why a good headphone mix can affect the way you play, how modern production changes what we think “realistic” drums should sound like, and why cymbal feel may still be one of the biggest areas left to improve. So what do you think? Are electronic drums realistic enough, or is there still something missing? If there is, what would you add or change? #ElectronicDrums #RolandVDrums #VDrums #drums 0:00 Intro 0:50 What Is Better? 1:23 The Sound 4:00 The Production Paradox 5:50 The Physical Limit 6:58 What Comes Next?
