| Simmons, Roland and Yamaha (at least) all make separate pads that
can be mounted on traditional and new-fangled drum mounting hardware.
You will need a pad-to-MIDI convertor (also available from Simmons,
Roland, Yamaha, etc.) to drive the drum machine's MIDI input.

| Also, Roland has the MPD-1 which is a single pad with an assignable
MIDI out. List is $165.

| FWIW - some synths have inputs that can be used to gate sounds.
For ex, my S-10 can take a mic input to trigger a sample. Only
one such input, though ...

| 1623.4 | Pearl, too. | DYO780::SCHAFER | Brad ... DTN 433-2408 | Tue Aug 16 1988 13:33 | 6 |
| The drummer I jammed with last weekend had a set of Pearl pads. A
snare, 4 "toms" and a kick, all driving an Akai S900. (Also had [real]
Zildjian cymbals.) Sounded great, but I didn't get a chance to play
them.

| 1623.5 | Tama too.... | IAMOK::CROWLEY | No we're not gonna do bloody Stonhenge! | Tue Aug 16 1988 15:22 | 10 |

Tama makes/or made pads too. I've got a 5 piece set of
Tama Techstars....these are the ones with real drum heads on
them. They aren't MIDI, but by plugging them into the external
triggers of an octapad, you've got a MIDI set.

| 1623.6 | Boss has a useful device as well. | PANGLS::BAILEY | | Tue Aug 16 1988 16:49 | 10 |
| Another product worth mention is are the Boss MIDI drum pads, if
you aren't interested in a ``full-sized'' surface. They have a
practice pad type surface and generate MIDI directly.
Actually, I think you buy a ``master'' which has the pad to MIDI
conversion functions plus one pad, and it accepts three other pad
inputs, which could probably some of the pads mentioned above.
The price of the master was $150 last time I checked.

Casio do a cheapo cheapo version of the above for attaching to their
Rz1. I,me pretty sure it would work with a sampler also. I have
seen one but never payed one.

| These Casio wallers are great, aren't they? First, they produce
the only sampler anyone should buy. Then, a fine new synth yet to
be thoroughly reviewed in commusic. Now you tell me they're already
there with the drum pads! Phew!

| 1623.9 | Thumbs up on Casio pads! | LOLITA::DIORIO | | Wed Aug 17 1988 11:13 | 16 |

We (my band) used the Casio pads last night. They were very easy
to set up and map (to an RX drum machine) using the translator box
that comes with the pads. We are doing this to save money on studio
time by eliminating the need to set up, mic and otherwise screw
around with the kick, snare and toms. We just use the pads to record
the kick, snare and toms into my computer-based sequencer,
and then do the hi-hat and cymbals later in
the studio. Takes less time and money. The only problem we had was
when my computer (Compaq) died in the middle of recording the
sequences!! Bummer. Must have been another victim of the humidity
(I think the power supply fried).
But the Casio pads worked fine!!

| Hi Richard!
Yes, It's me, the Casio pusher...We also have the Casio set
up (translator box and 4 pads). It works great with the FZ.
The reason I'd recommend these pads is their price. In NY you
can get a 'set' for around $550. It's still not real cheap, but
you have separate, very playable, pads.
By the way, wasn't there an article in Electronic Musician about
pads you could build (about a year ago)? Maybe someone out there
remembers which issue...(or maybe it was Home and Studio Recording
mag...we only get about 20 magazine a month...)
cheers
(how's the new baby?)
