This is unreal. He is so smooth. Every time I watch one of these I want to buy a drum kit but my wife would kill me. Haha

I bought my daughter an electric guitar and amp for Christmas. I think that will be enough racket for my wife to bear. Maybe hold off on the drums for a couple more years.
My son also has an electric guitar but he never plays it. All the music he is into is digital. He has an electric piano which he uses once and awhile.

An electronic drum kit is wicked. You can jam with headphones on and not bug anyone.

They are pretty cool but what if you want to jam with some people?

Maybe just a bias due to having never really used one other than for a few minutes years ago at a friend's place but it doesn't seem the same in a band scenario without the live kit.

It's a mini Squier strat. Red. She saw it in the music store last summer and wanted it for her birthday but we had already got her something so I got it for her for Christmas.
