How is the electric drum kit different from the acoustic drum kit?

In just about every way. Acoustic drums are just that, actual drums with drum shells, lugs, tension rods & hoops, and drum heads. The sound is produced by the vibration of the drum heads and drum shell. Electric (electronic) drums are really nothing more than a MIDI instrument with triggers shaped to look like drums and cymbals. The sounds are produced electronically. The sounds are triggered to play when one of the drum heads (triggers) are struck with the drum sticks. Think of the triggers themselves as fancy pushbuttons. A computer can also produce the same sounds using only the keyboard to trigger the sounds. In the end, electronic drums SOUND like real acoustic drums, but aren't actually drums themselves.

Can you get extra add on drums and cymbals for the Yamaha DTX electric drum kit?
yes you can but it is quite expensive and is quite hard to find one that will fit your kit. It also depends on the electric kit you have. If you purchased a standard kit then you will not likely have extra inputs on your drum module / machine, this would require upgrading your module or whole. Which is a better idea than upgrading your pads, as that would have no effect on your sound. If you are talking about adding acoustic drums to your electric kit, it is probably better to add electric drums to your acoustic kit because you will have a fuller and more original sound.

Which are better Normal drums or electric drums?
ELECTRIC DRUMS ARE NOT FAKE DRUMS! They are exactly the same as acoustic with better sound and less equipment to handle. They are great for beginners because they are small and cheap. They also never need to be replaced! They are also great for experts because the more advanced sets have a program where you can record and mix the beats you make. They are perfect because they can be quiet when you need them, and loud whenever you. My advice for any drum buyer is to go electric.Electric drums are not fake drums, there are a lot of reasons to buy them:you have moody neighbors and want to play late at night or early in the morningyou really want to record onto a computer in a slightly better quality, but you could just use a muffled microphone (worked for me)you already have a good acoustic drum kit.You have bad resonance in the only area that you can put your acoustic.Electric drums kits are not more for pop to be honest, you can get pop/rock/fusion/metal acoustic kits if you want, but standard ones normally it depends on tuning and the way you play also. buy acoustic... unless any of the those reasons apply to you. :)Electric drums are not "Fake" drums... they are a tool that allows a different medium to a drummer... they are not used exclusively for pop...my advise is to get an acoustic set first though, electric drum sets can be complicated but have way more options and customizable sounds then an acoustic drum set, but are not meant to replace an acoustic kit.... example, i can set my electric bass drum to do a walking bass pattern, but not my acoustic set...get an acoustic set first.I actually disagree, electric drums are sometimes cheaper and they have many more uses and the sound doesnt bug out on you like some drums, and it also doesnt wear out and you can also record songs with it. I would say electric have surpassed acoustics in every way.It all depends on your purpose and your preference.
