midi Octo-pad for use with Alesis drum brain

I wanted some input from drummers and the like on a midi pad, with 8 pads on it. I see Neil Peart from Rush plays on one of these.
Something like the Roland Octopad (in looks) I only need the pads, I dont need it to do any sampling. I dont care if its Roland or not, I just need some input on which are better or which is more widly used.

Alesis m1 flashing light

I have a line on some m1 active monitors, the one works fine, the other only flashes the led light when turned on and then nothing. I'm fairly handy with basic maintainance and repairs, don't mind a little bit of solderetc. anyone have any idea what could be the first thing to look at with this. if it's a total write off i'd rather stay away, but it doesn't seem like that. thanks, glen
