Trenthian Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 hello everyone, pehaps one of you would know. I want to get a midi drum controller, such as the trigger finger by m-audio. But I would like to have a pedal pad. basically, I'd like a simple drum trigger with a kick pad. Any of you folks know a simple setup for this? otherwise down the road Im either gonna have to get a real drumkit, or a middleweight electric set. Given my current space limitations, the latter would be disasterous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 i've looked into this, these are what i found: Alternate Mode DrumKAT - http://www.alternatemode.com/drumkat.shtml the dk10 runs about $500, is strictly a controller, has 10 pads and it has external inputs for a hi-hat and kick... - http://www.alternatemode.com/katpedals.shtml you can spend anywhere from $80 to $200 on a hi-hat pedal and spend $40 or $70 on a kick-trigger (you need your own kick-pedal, though) Roland SPD-S - http://www.roland.com/products/en/SPD-S/index.html 9 pads, runs about $500 as well, doubles as sampler and includes a bunch of Roland drum samples. you can plug in certain kick and hi-hat triggers from Roland's V-Drums line-up. Yamaha DD-55 - http://yamaha.com/yamahavgn/CDA/List/ModelSeriesList/0,,CTID%253D208400%2526CNTYP%253DPRODUCT,00.html 7 pads, onboard sounds which are kinda crummy, includes a hi-hat and kick pedal which aren't great but work, and even includes a pair of drumsticks. it can be found for less than $200. EDIT: oh, the kick input is not velocity sensitive. hope that helps, i can give more info if needed. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 i've always wondered if you could convert a midi CC signal (ie that of a sustain pedal) into an actual midi note. that way you could use your sustain pedal for a kick controller or something. it wouldn't be velocity sensitive, and the action would suck cocks, but if you already have a sustain pedal it's a start.

Potshot Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah I would assume so, mate of mine with a yamaha DTX explorer can slave the hi hat pedal to the kick for double kick action, horrible horrible feel to it of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
