I will be going in a studio for the first time with my band.
The studio has a set of electronic drums.  I have only played on acoustic drums.  As I understand it, everyone will be using pods and headphones.  We want to record all together as a band..  I use promark 5A sticks with nylon tips.  Any suggestions on sticks, electronic drums, recording studios,  etc. would be appreciated.

There's so much that I could share that to start is almost overwhelming.

I would recommend using your acoustics if at all possible; since you have never played on electronics. Electronic drums can be very cool, and the engineers love them because it takes little or no effort on their part to get good drum sounds ... assuming that the e-drums have quality sounds. But it takes some practice to really get comfortable with e-drums since the feel is VERY different ... and the pads will respond VERY different than what you may be used to. To really be effective, you need to be able to adjust the pad sensitivities to your liking and playing style.

If you've never played in the studio ... you may be equally frustrated with the end sound result. You must play consistent strokes, etc.

If you can't use your acoustics, just have a good time and make the best of it. It will definitely be a hands on learning experience.
