Cymbal pads

Cymbal pads

2009-07-19 by Pete

Hi

I make electronic music and have always used drum machines and step sequencers to make my drums. I want to broaden my horizons and have got an SDSV and an old 5 piece Simmons kit. The problem is i dont know what to do about hihat, crash and ride. I want to trigger cymbal samples from my Jomox Xbase 999 and the rest from the SDSV. Should i sack off the Simmons kit and buy a new complete kit? (e.g. a cheap Roland V drum) or can anyone recommend individual pads and stands that will do the trick? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
 
Cheers

Pete

anything that looks like a pad will do the trick as long as you have a decent
trigger to midi converter, like a alesis d4 or 5 a yamaha tmx or a simmons
?? sorry forgot the name.
you can build your own pads if you like to but since pads ain't that expensive
anymore it's hardly worth the money saving

hope this helps
Berk
PS I wouldn't sell the pads, history and econimic wise
but that's my opinion
