drum samples replaced - triggering drums..?

<HR style="COLOR: #d1d1e1" SIZE=1> <!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->
Hello...

I find myself in the position more and more often to want to replace/trigger snare and kick-drum to get a more punchy sounding mix of the drums, make all hits more equal in power, and make it easier to get a good overall sound from the kit.

I have a few favorite snare and kick samples I have made that I currently have to manually insert for each hit (which takes waaay too much time!!!), and then mix up with the original sound of the kits snare and kick. I´ve been trying to look into the possibility of buying somekind of equiptment or software to do this automatically, map the midi info of the hits or something like that... and D-Drum and other names have been dropped - does anyone here have any tips on something good to serve this purpose???

Is it possible to get some sort of sensor-type thing like the ones from d-drum and use my own samples as the trigger-sound?? If I use some sort of sound module with triggers, can the sound-replacements/sampled hits be changed after tracking or any time in the mix?? Or do I have to choose the kick or snare before the tracking beginns?

Could I possibly get some sort of machine (sound-module) which I could send the waveforms (for exampl. snare/kick) from a physical output on protools and then back into the daw and record the triggered samples on a new track..??

I am in dire need to aquire this sort of equipment asap, so any comments, tips and advise on this would be well appreciated!!

Thanx!!

are you wanting to trigger a live kit then for live use??
If you are the Roland drum trigger are awsome and very cheap

if you are wanting triggers for recording then
why not record a acoustic kit then retrigger it with your own samples in your DAW..
Aptrigger is a awsome Trigger plug-in that you can use in real time you can use up to 8 multi samples as well

and the best bit is its about £25 which is more than reasonable
