Doing searches for the best drum pad controller for BFD2 looks like it may be the Korg padKontrol. I actually want to use this with UBS direct.

Has anyone used either of these? I'm wanting to use one of these with window XP to trigger BFD 2 along side with Samplitude/Sequoia 11. I see on the LCD "Cubase LE". Drum controllers are new to me so I'm also wondering if you need specific software for the DAW used with it?

I wanted to add a midi pad to a drum setup. I want to do somewhat like Neil Peart. A live drum set with one pad, that has say 6 different indivual pads on it. And it will work with my Alesis DM Pro.
Can anyone please recommend one (or more)?
