I use a Hart Dynamics Prodigy set with mesh heads. It’s not amazing, but it does the job, and has no problem with 16th notes. It cost $499 about 3 or 4 years ago, and I think they are a lot cheaper now, or comes with an Alesis DM5 for the same price. I am actually using the Alesis DM5 with the Hart Kit and that works well also. I used to use the sounds in it before the kickbutt drum software revolution came upon us, they really aren’t that bad. They don’t really sit in a mix too realistically, but for jamming and stuff, they are pretty good.
That should get ya going in the right direction. It seems a lot of people have successfully used this as a Midi controller with Garageband and other programs.
If you got this thing for free, might as well put it to use. Let us know how you make out! I’m curious!
Over the weekend, I unpacked that Hart kit, dusted it off, got it all hooked up thru my DM5, thru my M-Audio 1814 into Pro Tools and EZDrummer. It’s awesome!
I don’t hear any latency that bothers me at all. Maybe the DM5 has some latency when it’s generating it’s own sounds, I dunno, but when used with EZD, everything is cool. I was having a blast playing the Nashville kit with the Room mic solo’d, my monitors cranked.
One question, EZD doesn’t have any functionality for a hi-hat pedal switch right? I don’t think it was ever really designed for e-drums, which is fine. Just wanted to check.
