Reasonably good MIDI kit for Superior 2.0

Teaboy · 21st April 2009

I'm primarily a guitarist and bassist, but I really love playing drum kits. My only problem is that I can only do that when renting a rehearsal room, which works out expensive.

I have Toontrack's Superior 2.0 which I use often for writing and recording and I'm thinking about getting a MIDI drum kit that's small and quiet for home use

Then I can practice with headphones and have an amazing sounding kit.

So, any suggestions for a decent MIDI kit that's not too expensive?

It must have double kick + hihat pedal (or be easy to switch between them mid song)

what is your budget, what do you consider cheap? I've got a Roland TD-9SX set which I think is good bang for the buck if you don't want to be whacking on rubber all day. ToonTrack does a great job with a pretty trouble-free experience out of the box when using V-Drum modules IMO. I typically fire up ToonTrack Solo and EZDrummer for a quick sit-down session and it couldn't get an easier.

You usually have to provide the pedals anyway, and most kick triggers on decent kits can accommodate a double-kick pedal. The one I have allows you to use the hi-hat pedal as second kick while leaving the hat half-open but I don't use that setting much since I don't like the different feel between the hi-hat pedal and real kick pedal.

I use a Drumkat with a dw5000 trigger kick and a hatkat pedal.
Kills with S2 and takes up about a 3' square.
