Hi,
Not that I am a drummer, but not a real fan of midi editing either ;)
So I need a hardware interface for the drums (something like the Roland
octapad). Moreover I have thought about it and this is how I like to use
the computer, as server of sounds, midi/audio record and mixing. For
workflow an hardware interface is better I think.
So searching for a drum pad now to use with LinuxSampler and probably
Hydrogen (if it finally get stable with JACK).
Any recommendations as it comes to touch, features, connection
possibilities, brands etc.?
Like I said, I am not a drummer, so it's gonna be pretty low budget I think.
Regards,
\r

if you can find a used drumkat, i'd recommend it.

Drumkat seems to be the best option for me indeed.
Does the Drumkat gives me much more compared to a DK10 (I want to use it
with LinuxSampler and hydrogen maybe)?

mostly just the screen. i have a DK10, and have never needed the screen.

Another option (2nd hand) is the VK12 which is basically this DK10, but
with a other MIDI mapping (EMU instead of GM).
GM seems to me more ideal, but could tools like qmiditools and mididings
(easily) help me out here, e.g. to route to GM mapping?

One of the best feature of DrumKat (not DK10) is the possibility to tune
the sensibility of each pad/trigger to match your personal way of drumming.

Ok, got my snd hand DrumKat VK12 (DK10 with other mapping) with two
HATpedals and stand for 200 euro.
Thanks for suggesting, looks nice and solid :)
Only need some stuff for under the pedals to absorb noise/ vibrations.
Any recommendations for this?
Kind regards,
Dirk

hi
if you need a midi-controller only, to trigger hydrogen etc. , the
akai lpd8 might work for you.

Second that sentiment, but I'd go for one of the 4x4 grid models. The
Akai ones are great - I have an MPD24 working ootb with Linux now. I'm
also a big fan of the Korg one (think it's the PadKontrol) just for
the light-up pads.
You can do a lot with a finger drumming pad controller and a decent
sense of rhythm.

The alesis "control pad" is a affordable and works out-of-the-box
with a
USB connection. I've used it when i developed the midi action system for
hydrogen, so i used it more as a controller for actions (play, pause
etc) then for playing drums. But it has extra inputs for attaching other
triggers (like a bassdrum controller).
Hope that helps,
Sebastian

@Emanual, thanks, it's an option but then it's more triggering, less
drumming...

Most people on the Internet seems to recommend Roland or Yamaha, but I
saw the Alesis too, could be an interesting option...
Thanks.

I am still enthusiastic about this solution:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJrO9VYEoGQ
There is a possibility of using PD to generate the trigger for MIDI.
Unfortunately
I have not the knowledge to do it, but maybe someone in the list, can help
with PD.
I'm thinking also about to do something like this.

i have something like that about half finished, using piezos as drum
triggers connected to an arduino that talks to pure data.
the pure data patch works with the [comport] object and triggers
different parameters of the audio synthesis.
there is a beginning of a documentation at
<http://forkbomb.dadacafe.org/blog/ardrum/>
learning all the various stuff for it has been quite some fun so far and
got me into even more interesting stuff than i had anticipated.
for the quick and dirty solution while the set is being built, i'd also
recommend a lpd8 connected to hydrogen, this was the first thing i did
before starting to build a set with different haptics.

used drumkats cost ~300 eur here which was no option.
