Roland V-Drums - OH MY GOD!!!

[Two hands31]

I recently tried out a Roland V-Drums set. *I'm considering buying a set, since I'm a bit of a drummer, and like to record all my stuff myself without using midi or a drum machine. *(translation: *a bass is coming next. lol) *I love how real it sounds and feels, but OH MY GOD THE PRICE! *Does anyone know of a good quality place that SHIPS TO CANADA (translation: *no Musicians Friend ($#@$#)) that has a low-ish price on the Professional Set with Stand? *I'm going to double check the store where I tried them out to see what they're selling them for (Considering they've got an RG-7620 for CAN $1021 and a POD 2 for CAN $600) and go from there. *Here's pic, in case the places have them named differently.

For a V-Custom or V-Pro set, the only way you'll get a good deal is buying used. *That's the ONLY way.

V-Pro's are great. *A friend of mine who's been drumming for over 30 years swears by them. *He also gigs with them.

The price of these drums have dropped quite a bit in the last year.
