Hello there! I'm starting a band with my friend. I have a question, if that's okay?

He wants to do acoustic and I have my heart set on drums(possibly electronic; I don't have enough cash for anything beyond a five piece normal set). Do the two work together?

Yeah they work fine, listen to Nirvana unplugged for a good example. You will have to play pretty lightly so as to not completely overwhelm his guitar, if he plays through an amplifier you will have a bit more elbow room but you will still have to show serious restraint. An electronic kit will be ideal because you can pick drums sounds to complement an acoustic guitar nicely, as well as easily adjusting the volume to match his levels.

Hm, that's disappointing, but we'll work it out. We're still months away from when I even get the money to buy our instruments anyway, so we have a lot of time to work on everything before then.

We only just decided to do this today and I know nothing about playing or music making in general, so I'm a bit nervous but extremely excited with the concept. I'm one hundred percent dedicated to music making and the only way this isn't gonna happen is if my band mate dies or something. I don't think he's played guitar before, so we're going to be diving into this together.

I know I probably sound like an idiot, but I'm going to do my best to learn, practice, and be the best drummer I can.

Any suggestions for an under four hundred electronic kit(I can compromise though if there's just a really great set I need to have over that)? This is what I'm looking at right now.

Alright, I'll get some practice stuff and books and start at them right away. Thanks a lot for the advice!
