I have decided to venture off into the world of e-drums for my home studio. I would love to build my own kit to save some money, but with an 8 month old and a new house to fix up, time is an issue. So, I have given myself a budget of 3K to hopefully buy a serviceable e-kit setup. By serviceable, I mean a good setup that will allow me to produce quality drum tracks that are as realistic sounding and feeling as reasonably possible. Dynamics are VERY important to me. I have looked at a few TD kits, and a couple of the Hart kits, but I have yet to find a set around town that I can sit down and try out. I’m also very green to the midi world, so I want a setup that will take advantage of the Superior 2.0 features, but simple enough for my small songwriter brain. Here are a few questions I have…
1. Is it mandatory to have a module to use SD with an e-kit?
2. Does the quality of module affect the performance and sound quality(dynamics,etc..) that is triggered from SD?
3. Does the quality of e-drum kit affect the performance and sound quality triggered from SD?
4. Will I need a midi controller?
If anyone has some recommendations on how to go about achieving what I’m looking for, I would greatly appreciate it. If my budget will not suffice my expectations, that’s okay. I would rather wait and get something that’s going to get the job done, than settle for mediocre production.
Thanks for the help!
