Drum pads? Midi Drum kits?

Korg, Yamaha, Roland...

I've used a Roland Midi Drum Kit before, loads of fun but not a drummer so I couldn't see myself using anything like it live.

there's a few options for that.
what's coming to my mind is the roland pad-8 octapad as far as a brain unit to use with it i'd use a sampler prolly a rackmount.

ever had any issues?
my drum bud hates alesis due to tech support when the shit fails
told me same bout micron though i apparently got a solid unit or know how to take care of my shit

the midi signals it puts out are SUPER, super short. it's manageable in ableton, as you can lengthen midi info pretty easily, but unusable w/ stylus in logic.

otherwise, nope-- one of the best alesis bits i've ever owned. that and the philtre.

but yeah, you get alesis because it's a cheap solution--- you want tech support, go drumkat or roland. and pay 5x as much.

I had an octapad for years-- it works great, but i'm not doing midi w/o usb any more. certainly not on the road.
