Hi there,
I am planning on getting SD2.0, but was wondering if anyone could recommend a drum module. I started doing my homework, then realized someone would probably know what model would work for me off the top of their head. So, I appreciate the help in advance.
I’m trying to juggle both: spending as little as possible and having all the features I need. That is to say I am not looking at TD-20’s and TD-30’s, but will have to if cheaper models don’t have all the features I would like. Manufacturer doesn’t really matter to me. Probably going to use Hart Dynamics for the pads.
So this is what I am looking for:
– At least (12) inputs: (1) snare, (4) toms, (1) bass, (1) hi-hit, (1) ride, rest are for cymbals.
– Position sensoring , or comparable, technology on the snare. Not sure if this is available on toms…
– Ability to do rimshots on snare and toms.
– Ability to choke cymbals.
– Dual zone hi-hat.
– Three zone ride. (Although having the ability to play the edge may not be critical.)
– It would be cool if the bell on the crash cymbals worked, but not imperative. Not sure how often I would use that function.
Initially, it looks like the TD-8 might be able to do this, but I am not 100% sure.
I don’t care too much about the on board sounds… all the ones I have heard don’t sound good, so just using it the trigger SD. I haven’t been able to find a trigger-to-MIDI converter that would be able to do all this.
What is “variable hi-hat” by the way?
Thanks again!
Ish
