Never! V Kits are good for practicing if volume and surroundings are an issue.. or if you want to bang out a really fast demo of a tune that sounds half decent.. but playing live with them is usually a big disappointment. Outside of the sound cone or enveloppe created by the FOH speakers, the e-kit sound drops off - it has no presence; unlike an acoustic kit that you can feel and here at the back of the room... and then there is the 'fake, canned, never-changing, sound samples that always sound identical. Unlike acoustic drums that give you a wide range of sounds and expression.. even the best e-kits (that claim to mimic real drums) still sound like On and Off to me.. I can usually identify an e-kit sound from an acoustic played kit in a matter of seconds.. and to me they always suck..If anything acoustic drums will continue to get better and better.. and they will always be the tool of choice.
