Would you say it is my interface? Or could it be something else in my setup?Right now I record using the TD-10 just to listen to, then on playback retriggering the samples. Just looking to play with the samples as I record, they are so much nicer.Thanks for the video!

I have a question for you if you have a second. I am considering the Alesis IO, I already have triggers and a sample library. When I try playing my samples with my current setup, there is just enough lag to make it feel a little to weird to play using the samples on the PC. My PC is pretty damn fast, perhaps it's my audio interface (Tascam US428) I am using the Roland TD-10, and my samples are playing out of Reason 2.5.(continued)

Great Review. Answered all the questions I had about this setup. Would this set up work with XLN Audio's Addictive Drums. Thanks

I'm thinking of upgrading my RET kit right now.If you've already got the IO, and you'd LOVE SD2.0, I would look online for a Fusion Pro. Those are the typical setup. Also, I've got a Stealth kit from RET, and it's a little smaller in size and price ;-)Check my page for additional info!-mikey

Krutman,I can say that the RET Percussion kits work the best for triggering software. I've played on them all, and I'm MUCH more satisfied with RET's actual drum quality. VERY well built.Check out my videos for additional info!-mikey

My intent was to demonstrate what mesh heads sound like ON RET DRUMS. If you play rolands or whatever your results will differ. Thanks for the comments.

ifinddivollscheisse (September 15, 2008 at 6:50 pm)

nice vid,but the comparison between the regular and mesh head is way off, because the ret-drums have a foam layer muffling the drumheads, so when you strike the drum with the meshhead it is actually mostly that foamlayer sounding (thudding) so loud.you'd have to compare a freely vibrating meshhead (or roland/hart meshpad) with the ret-pads.

Krutman (September 14, 2008 at 6:45 pm)

Oh, let me just clarify that. With Roland pads, there's been complains about there's very little between soft triggers and hard ones; like the velocity values suddenly jumping from low numbers to close to 127 as you hit the pad harder.

Thanks for making and sharing this! Right now, I'm shopping for a kit/trigger unit to go with BFD2. How's the dynamics on the Alesis with the RET pads? I've read it's not so good with some Roland pads...

How much did those RETs run you? I have a trigger io, a bunch of ddrum triggers, and im drooling over SD2.0. Any advice you guys might have about how to proceed on a budget would be cool. thanks!
