If you ask for a recommendation, than Roland should be the No. 1 and of
cause a recommendation shouldn't be the cheapest solution offered by
Roland.

When I had no money a long time ago I bought a single Dauz pad to
trigger an Alesis D4 and later additionally a toy from Yamaha called
DD-11. My elCheapo solution shares the manifest destiny of even
expensive Yamaha solutions other people have got. It's not used anymore
and it never was used very much. People who own the Octapad and not the
cheapest Roland V-Drums, with an additional good food pedal for the
kick, will use their equipment. That's what I experienced in my social
environment.

YMMV,
Ralf
