Julia,
Congrats on finding that Alesis at a good price. You're going to have a blast playing around with the settings. Sorry to hear about your ankle, but listen to John's advice. If you try to use that ankle before it's fully healed, you're only going to mess it up even worse and miss out on the pre-season band drills. Good luck.

Well, right after I posted, I had an accident sliding into a base in softball and sprained my left ankle. I can't go up and down stairs (where my drums are) for a couple of weeks :(The good news is that I took everyone's advice and looked on Craigslist and found a Alesis DM6 set that was in really nice shape. I got it for $200 and I can set it up in my room! Now, I just need my ankle to get better by marching band season, which starts in a couple of weeks.Thanks, everyone!
Had this happen to me while playing Hockey..(Canadian)..
To get back on yr feet sooner (if it's bad) Pool walking..
Basically walk on it when yr in a pool...every 2nd day...
Made a huge difference....
Best of luck with everything..
Bop iT / Til U Drop iT.I`ve been teaching drum set on a Roland TD-6 kit for 14 yrs and once you`ve discovered the world of electronic drums you`ll likely always have a set at home.Wonderful in so many ways...

Take care of that ankle!
Between you and me, the way to get up and down stairs without using your legs is to sit down on the steps and use your arms and one good leg to scoot up the stairs in a rather undignified fashion. It works though.
Congrats on the kit by the way.
My Yamaha 900 DTX drums are the best electronic drums I've played. They feel more like real drum heads and the sound is amazing.
