I discovered Magellan and it's really fantastic. I wonder if exist some band that use an electronic drum like these guys in heavy/symphonic or hitech prog. No metal prog, cause don't like metal. Thx a lot, i know already Enchant and DeeExpus. What i love much more is that drum that has a plastic sound like the '80! Dream theather copied their sound from the 1st album, and make it more heavy and extreme? It seems so ------------- http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow">

First two Magellan albums are excellent. Better than Dream Theater.

They remind me of Kansas. Explorer's Club released 2 albums and were manned by Trent Gardner...however, can't say that I can make any recommendations based on the plastic sound of their drums.

Magellan were pretty unique, but if you want electronic drums of a good symphonic band i would go with Anderson, Howe, Wakeman, Bruford cd from 1989, but i am not sure if this sound is like "plastic drums", but it's quiet different from Magellan. I would have to look further to find anything similar to Magellan, because they were prog metal but i am sure someone else will find a bit of similarity in the sound with a different genre then prog metal. ------------- Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

Only the first 2 u say? I don't know the last album from Magellan. Magellan isn't progmetal, just heavyprog in my opinion, i agree with LSDisease! ------------- http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow">

As rdtprog already said, Maggelan were a pretty unique prog act.
But I'd like to recommend Yes' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eChfcblq00" rel="nofollow - Drama and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7WAmYykwyk" rel="nofollow - Power Windows by Rush. |

I prefer obscure bands, no so famous. Rush in this album is so pop/aorish, hihi ------------- http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow">

They have a real drummer, but you might like http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=237" rel="nofollow - Mastermind . Like Magellan they are a band of two brothers, and are from the same era.

| ^ I own the first Mastermind album. They were a 3 piece band with obvious Rush and ELP influences. I quite like that album. |

| Eloy used a drum machine for the album Ra that was recorded in the 80's. Its very heavy spacey stuff with loads of synths. |
