Well, we got it.
Roland TD6-kw with teh mesh head snare. We have it plugged in via my Marshall 65watt bass amp, and headphones for quiet practice. It's a beast! Sounds brilliant. Still can't figure out how to get it to play tunes for us to play along with but we do have a manual.
And for £500 this has been an amazing bargain. It really was in perfect nick.
Photo showing my wife (who I married in August, keep meaning to post some pix of that up here somewhere) laying down some beats. She's been learning for about 3 weeks now and coming along very well.
