Hopefully the sound is redirected into someone's ears at some point Bridge! How it works is via headphones for the 'quiet' practice, even though electronically via the drum kits 'brain'/module, you could have a huge percussion symphony including gongs going on in the headphones. It's all rubber pads shaped like a drum kit, so you play it as normal. The sounds built in are varied from huge Phil Collins or metal drums to tabla's and bongo's (or gongs Techie). You can also program your own drum sounds. This all means i can practice and get my skills up well into the night without disturbing folk, and also means i can record that drum idea with the huge timpani sounds tripled at 11.00 p.m. with no worries. And, it plugs directly into my recording set-up and i can tighten up any sloppy drumming using music software on my P.C. I can change any drum sound i play later if i don't like it, or prefer a different sound for that particular drum.
I prefer playing my real drums, and will do for the folky/ambient stuff, but i want to try this new kit out with some metal and electronic music. It serves a few purposes and will be fun too. It opens up more possibilities for the home recording muso like me. Aren't you glad you asked? :H
Edit: Hi Saucy!
P.S. The sounds the kit has and is capable of compares with the big budget drums you hear. So a million dollar sound is possible. Access to great samples/sounds is so cheap these days. It helps level the playing field sonically with the bigger studio recordings and artists.
