Please help chosing: Roland VH-10 or VH-13-MG ?

Post by Intini »

I just got 3 eDRUMin units. I am building an edrum from scratch and I am very anxious to set it up.
Please, is there any difference, with eDRUMin, between Roland VH-10 and Roland VH-13-MG? I have the option to buy a brand new VH-10 or an used (but allegedly never used), out of warranty, VH-13-MG - it looks mint and I can return it if I don't like it. I wonder what the differences between them are, if any at all, within the eDRUMin. I will be using Superior Drummer 3, EZD3, BFD, etc. Price wise the VH-13-MG is 20% cheaper! But has no warranty. But I have 30 days to return it if it has problems.

Please help me decide.

I have both, but I prefer the VH-13. It just feels better and more natural to play. Keep in mind that the VH-13 isn't light, so you'll need to solid hihat stand.

Thanks! That is what I needed to know.
As for the stand, do you think a Pearl H-930 or H-1050 would be fine?
Would you be worried about the VH-13 having no warranty?

I think any Pearl hihat will be able to handle the weight.

As for the warranty, I wouldn't personally be worried as I have a pretty good understanding of electronics. I'd only be concerned that the pad is damaged or defective? Why doesn't it have a warranty?

The VH-13 is listed as "used" but the seller said he bought it for his son that now got married and never used it. It certainly looks new and unused.
The VH-10 is brand new from Roland store.
I guess I should just go with the VH-13 then. I too am confortable with electronics.
Thanks again, Rob
