1.) You can actually hide the electric drum pads inside of the actual drum shells, giving the illusion that you're actually playing a real kit.

2.) The glory of drum triggers. They attach to the dtum hoops and rest on the drum heads, and they're all wired back to the elec. kit's drum brain. You're drummer will have the sound ond feel of an acoustic kit while he's playing on stage, but your sound guy will be able to produce all the same sounds of an electric kit.

Also, if you want the stage presence of a real drum kit, there's one of two ways you can do that, while still utilizing the effects and brain of an elec. kit.
