Drum pads + kick pad?


 Share

Recommended Posts

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.

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.
