Well, like I said, I could no longer use the Korg PadKontrol nor the M-Audio Trigger Finger. I felt there just had to be a better way to play, and sticks are better for me, it's how I learned to articulate percussion after all. And although I haven't been able to afford it yet, I felt I needed a way...

Not me- Flipper. My stuff was cool. It was one of my presents to myself. (Digital Performer was a school "necessity". The DrumKAT was needed to work with BFD. Sibelius was necessary for a Soundtracks class. I could go on all day, but you all know how it is.)

It's hard to find a nicer group of folks than at FXpansion- call them, they'll get you squared away, and you've of course been hearing how good BFD2 is. Don't get mad, just call them...

Again, I want to caution anyone with the Alesis Pad Controller and even the Performance Pad do not allow for articulated control of anything added via footswitch. That is, they only allow for a single velocity on/off with nothing in between. This is obviously not how a hat or kick drum pedal work. I...

Yeah, I think for me the Zendrum is not on the horizon, but if I don't get what I want out of the DrumKAT then V-Drums it is. It's funny: I became a drummer because I couldn't get what I wanted out of the drum machines of the day, and drummers are often unreliable (if you can't afford to pay them). ...

No musician can ever feel that they have enough, in my opinion- it's a thing that our loved ones who aren't caught up in the mania don't always understand. But honestly, I can't help but have great admiration for the folks who make the equipment- I can't think of another industry that tries so hard ...

I'm a BFD man myself, having just upgraded to version 2. I can very much echo the sentiments you've heard, the sound is great, PXpansion is a wonderful hands-on company and will work with you to get what you want. However I'm going to say that any of the big names will give you what you're looking f...
