I bought it. I still have yet to hook it up to the computer though. Pretty neat little thing, not bad for the price.

Yep…these aren’t bad at all when you are on a super tight budget, yet want to be able to trigger sounds in SD2, practice anywhere, or just get acquainted with drumming in general. I snagged one of these (actually, it was the YDD-60, which came out to replace the DD-65, but with all the same features, pads, and look) for only 99 bucks brand new from musician’s friend stupid deal of the day a while back. For $100, this thing is awesome!

My only problem right now is I need to setup the velocity or something. It’s not very sensitive when triggering EZdrummer.

On the other side, triggering EZdrummer with ProTRIG works amazing. And at that I will create another thread.

But if anyone has any idea how to make my DD65 more sensitive when used with Reaper and EZdrummer (already at the highest in it’s own setting) let me know.

I put the velocity up and that seems to help, within Edrummer. I think that is it as if I turn the volume up really loud on the drum track in reaper, it seems “more sensitive”

I need to fiddle with it more, or my drummer is just gonna stick to cheap dollar store mics shoved into empty coffee cans. Yeah, ProTrig rocks.

Can anyone help me?

I posted over on Reaper’s forums too:

I can’t seem to get the sensitivty up on this.

Trigger’s fine, really fast using ProTrig and some piezo’s.

Playing locally on the speakers it’s fine, just when I trigger through Reaper it’s not.

I need to bump the volume, the velocity, and still it’s not great.

Would it be a problem with going through MIDI cable -> USB?
