Re: TD20 vs Alesis i/o

[MikeyVPT]

Not to go against the grain (and I realize I’m a few months behind on this thread), but I use the Trigger IO with EZDrummer, and I think my videos show some really great results.  True, I’m using the PreSonus FireBox as my audio driver, also, BUT once I got my hands on EZD, I loaded it up, hooked it up to one of my RET drum pads, and gave it a real workout.
 
Not only could I hit my fastest doubles, but I got tons of sensitivity for both the head and rim triggers.  It might just be the RET Percussion pads (They have a lot of sensitivity), or the fact that I can handle an Alesis Trigger IO in my sleep, but it does the best job for the price!
 
In my COMPLETE OPINION, I’m not saying it’s the best product to use (because it has it’s share of limitations), but for the price, I think it puts a Check to the Mate on a Roland brain for a TMI.
 
I would really like to see a Suped up IO box, loaded with Toontrack software, on an RET Percussion set.  That would put to shame any other combination, I feel.
