I first began playing around with e-drums when I was in a parody and comedy rock band. To begin, I'll tell you what I went through with my e-drums, and where I'm at currently, before answering your question. Thanks in advance for your condolences, everyone. Sorry about the delay! Without dwelling on it too much - soon after that post my grandfather passed on and I was dealing with all of that. If you have experience in this area and did NOT have to go the TD-20/30 route, I'd love to hear. That doesn't mean I don't want to hear from anyone else. So I'm all ears especially from Chris since he's been intimately involved with the Toontrack products. My plan would be to buy the lowest priced brain solution that made sense then getting the right Pad/Cymbal/Hi hat triggers to match up with that to trigger Superior Drummer. The following assumes buying used in the L.A. Also wanting to make sure to watch out for any latency issues. So this includes the choice of TD brain (Yamaha?) and what controllers are used, especially the hi hat. I've poked around and lurked here and there on other forums and what seems to come up as necessary for getting the most out of the software is position sensing technology, pad and brain, and the way the hi hat controller responds and is mapped. So the question is: What can I get away with that would take advantage of all of SD 2.X's features that won't kill me?Īgain, I won't be using any of the Roland brain sounds (audio) in this solution. I also would not be using the sounds at all. The question I have is what is the most reasonable, usable, cost effective e-drum solution that will work seamlessly with SD 2.X.įWIW, I just can't see getting a TD-20 or TD-30 because of the price tag, making it a long time for a ROI on the purchase. The original demo that hooked me to buy EZ Drummer was Nir Z playing a Roland V-Drum kit trigger. However I've been triggering with my Roland SPD-S or a keyboard so I haven't been able to take advantage of the more organic ways of cutting tracks using Toontrack and a DAW. I've owned EZ Drummer and a couple of upgrade packs (Nashville and Twisted) for some time now and have used that solution a small amount so I have a basic understanding and experience of using Toontrack products. 8)ĭue to a recent connection, I now own Superior Drummer and the Music City expansion pack. **Goodness! - long time since I posted here.
