Types of Drums

There are many different manufacturers of drum kits, some beginner based, some professional, and some both. Different manufacturers also focus on different areas of drumming, whether it be Jazz, Rock, Studio, Live, marching or percussion. Some of these include Pearl, Yamaha, Mapex, Millennium, DW, Sonor, Gretsch, Ludwig and Tama. The more roffesional brands such as Pearl or DW use Maple wood which gives the drum a better sound.
In the past few years electric drumming has started to take over acoustic drums. The benefits of electric drum kits is that they're not as loud, the sounds can be changed, and they can be recorded straight onto a compuer using a MIDI cable. Roland, Yamaha, Alesis, and Ddrum. The question is which is better, electronic or acoustic?
