What has your experience been with playing and recording electronic drums? I think the pros of electronic drums is obvious.
My biggest concerns are the translation of dynamics/velocity and how the latency might affect the feel of playing. I may end up not liking playing an electronic kit, but it's worth a try. I can make it work for an end result, but I much prefer the process of playing on the fly. Programming drums is wayyy too tedious for me, and it takes away from the fun of playing drums. The dynamics are always severely screwed up when tapping in drums using a keyboard or pad interface, and tapping in drum parts always ends up in lots of manual programming, which pretty much makes tapping in parts pointless. I much prefer playing acoustic drums over anything else, but something that I can hit with sticks has to be better than tapping in parts or programming parts. I need a lower volume solution for playing and recording drums. Trying to find more alternatives.I'm finally about to give the world of electronic drums a go (waiting on a kit to arrive). Addictive Drums 2 is apparently not meant to be used with an actual kit, at least I couldn't find any way to control it through midi, so yeah. So yeah, Superior Drummer promised substantially more MIDI controls, yet just had the same exact device selector with no additional options, so that was fail. Update: Typing here more as a personal blog than anything else at this point. Going to try alternatives for EzDrummer next (namely Addictive Drums 2 and Superior Drummer 2) I guess I've moved into territory more suited for the EzDrummer forums, but I figured I'd just leave this here in case someone knowledgeable happens to stop by, or someone wants to follow in my footsteps. The only problem left is that EzDrummer doesn't seem to understand the Yolk channel, in the MIDI Device tab I can only see "USB Midi Cable", and none of the Yolk channels. So now I effectively have the MIDI affect two programs at once. Relatively simply put, my MIDI data flows from my eDrums into MIDI-OX where it's copied onto Midi Yolk channel #1, and I can link Midi Yolk Channel #1 into Phase Shift. I'm using MIDI-OX in conjunction with Midi Yoke to create what I assume to be virtual copies of the original MIDI data through different channels.
