Yes, electric drums can be an excellent choice for metal music. They offer a wide range of sounds and tones that can mimic the sounds of acoustic drums, but also provide the ability to adjust and customize these sounds to fit the specific needs of metal music. This includes the ability to produce loud, heavy, and fast drum beats that are characteristic of metal. Additionally, they eliminate the need for microphone placement and offer a quieter alternative to acoustic drums, which is beneficial for both home practice and studio recordings.
