Hi all. I am a drummer/aspiring studio-tech. I plan to add a digital drum repertoire to my studio. I know that the possibilities are boundless. I use Reason and know some about digital drum re-fills.
I also feel somewhat restricted when laying down beats on a keyboard.
I've played on some V-kits but only minutes at a time while in the music store.
I want, "industry standard," digital drum sounds. What I'm looking for are sounds used in modern rock and hip hop rap. Examples: Dr. Dre's beats, Nine Inch Nails drums, Tool drums.
Would you list pros/cons on the following or any other products out there? Including Digital V-Kits, modules, software based intruments.
Roland
Alesis
Yamaha
Akai
Any and all feedback is appreciatedl
Thanks.
Joshua

I would like some of the new HiHat software in the newer units from dDrum and Kat and V-Drums
do lots of research as this is constantly changing

Vdrum pads and the Pintech pads are nice and responsive.

Drumkit from hell superior (DFHS) rules for acoustic drum sounds
Drumkit from hell superior (DFHS) rules for acoustic drum sounds. It's beyond amazing. I trigger it from my drumkat kit as well as the impulse drum machine in Ableton Live for electronic sounds. Best rig ever. Amazing.
drumkat to powerbook g4 running Live with DFHS.
