Should I go for the more realistic stick surface but be limited in sounds and have to build the drum track up or get the less realistic finger surface but be able to play a complete kit with nuances?

Ideally if I wasn't limited in funds I would get a V-Drums or DTXpress IV but realistically that's never going to happen. EzDrummer also has snare, rim shot and cross stick samples which I would like to be able to use all of.īoth options have advantages and disadvantages so I'm trying to decide which I could do without the most. With EzDrummer there are a few closed/semi closed hi hat samples and I would like to use a few of these when programming drums. However as hulk pointed out I can only trigger 8 sounds as it is and would need to buy the kick drum pedal and other pads to get what I want from it. I'm guessing it would be easier and more realistic to do this with the Alesis? The reason why I like the idea of the Alesis Control Pad is when programming drums I like the ability to play grooves in real time with all the nuances of snare drags, rolls etc. Thanks for your replies! The Korg Pad Kontrol does indeed look really sweet and out of all the midi pad controllers of this type it is my favorite by far! What would you suggest? Is there anything better for £150? The Korg Pad Kontrol doesn't offer the realism of sticks but the roll X/Y feature looks cool and I could still use a kick drum pedal. Looking at the options if I wanted the Alesis to be as playable as possible I'd have to spend £200+ I like the Korg Pad Kontrol because it has 16 pads, snare roll X/Y function and the ability to add a kick drum. I would also prefer to have and minimum of 10 pads but could scrape by with 8. I like the look of the Alesis Control Pad but I would need to buy the kick drum pad, hi hat pedal, Roland APC-33 stand adapter + snare stand. I'm mainly a keyboard player but play drums also. I like both of these because it gives me the option of using a kick drum pedal. I would like something to enable me to program more realistic drum tracks.Īfter doing a bit of searching and reading reviews I have reduced my list to the Korg Pad Kontrol and Alesis Control Pad. So far I've been using midi keyboards (Roland A33 and RD700) but keep breaking the contacts for the snare key! I have EzDrummer and the Vintage Rock EZX. I'm looking for something to play/program drum tracks into Cubase SX3.1.
