As far as I know this is only a midi trigger unit. I have this between my drum triggers and Logic Pro. So it triggers whatever sample kit I have set up there. It's a great unit tho - really tough :)

I use REAPER, I tried to load the Sonar CD and my computer spit it out, if that happens, it means it's garbage. There are a lot of DAW's on the market, you can use anyone you want, but if you want my recommendation, REAPER all the way.

Very much so. Many more options, and the tone/shaping options are extensive. EZD is pretty good, but Superior is, well, superior. It does the same thing as EZD, but the samples are way more flexible in terms of tailoring the sound to the sound you want. Highly recommended, if that's what you're looking for. If you're just looking for a backup drummer, EZD works great.

Hey, I have these drums, I'm not sure about additional triggers, you have two audio outs, one for headset and one for output good for recording on the computer through the mic input and an audio in. You also get a MIDI output, and if you have a MIDI to USB cable then you can connect the drumset to your computer and use it as a MIDI controller for your virtual kit, you just have to change some settings on the drums, I never used it this way, but the user's manual has a section dedicated to this function.

I have used a roland e-kit, and a yamaha dd55 into garageband and a couple other drum programs on the ipad with very little problem. Had to adjust a midi note assignment here and there, but other than, it was pretty much plug and play for me.

all the drums are double trigger, head and rim. I hate hitting the rim by accident and triggering a chime, etc... so I bought splitters that split the stereo input into two mono inputs, and ended up nearly doubling the set. it was awesome until the tornado hit. I miss that set.

yep, there is a mixer window in superior where you can add eq, comp, etc...to EACH drum . i use drumkit from hell and was never happy with it in ezdrummer, but i can really dial it in on superior.

The best out there by far is EZdrummer by ToonTrack. I was a rock drummer for many years and I haven't heard anything that comes close to this product. And it's affordable too. Just go to www.toontrack.com and look for it. You won't be sorry. It has many different types and sounds of percussion and tom tom and snare drum tracks and tons of fills that are just as easy to record or play on any computer. It does not import well or at all if you use Audacity recording software but really works well with Reaper. You can import anything from EZdrummer into Reaper.

Hi Clint, Thanks tons for your insight. I believe I'll look at the DP-03 after considering your comments. Does the DP-03 have a built in drum machine? It's not overly important, just a 'nice to have'.

I use the dw3000 double bass pedal on it . works ok. make sure you have a good amp for this you want good sound don't have a weak amp. the bass pedal to be honest I am still struggling to dial it in for my feel.I also have played with the sensitivity and threshold to dial in the action for not having ghost hits the set I love and probably the weakest link is the hit hat pedal but playing with the settings can get it almost feeling real on the open and close. overall for the money and to take up drumming I love it.

Way back when I purchased PT 7 Lite it came with an iLok, I have since sold mine but the iLok should come with ProTools. The Mbox was a nifty interface which I used along with a Peavey 16 channel mixer.

I think that is just your option. My son has just one which was helpful for him when away from a drum set.

You could use any mixer/interface with multiple XRL inputs. To record each input as a separate track (which you will want to do to get a better quality drum recording), you'll want a USB or firewire interface. For a cheap multitrack recording program, you can look into Reaper, and some interfaces even come with their own programs. I hope this helps! Best of luck.

any source will work to a certain degree i have the drums from this rp155 going thru a digitech r7 guitar pedal amazing sounds can be added if you get bored with your drum sound...... like i said so i think that any input mic, other drums ect work but its whether you like whats comin out of course you would have to mic up the harmonica why dont you just go the store and see if they will let you demo it

My son has Roland V Drums , but WOW what a difference in price. I'm a keyboardist but real drummers use it for our band practice. Beats loading. I added a sample Pad and the spare Tom - Cymbal. Also bought a metal rack used-much more sturdy. Plugged it into a big PA W/ great powerful sound. So yeah Quite satisfied.

George, there are a number of apps that record multiple tracks.... It should work just fine. Are you going to mic your drums? You can likely only record one track at a time. If you are doing midi you should be able to record multiple tracks at a time but again that will depend on the app you choose.

I like the Pyle. It's perfect for me as I DJ at various venues and they are sticklers for DB readings. I would recommend this sound level meter. This one holds steady. If you are trying to use it to master or calibrate the level, might be better to do it in the studio on the boards and re-master session. Or, if you are holding it while you are listening to the sounds, it will give you a reading on what it hears. Can't decipher tones and if you are trying to listen to one deck vs. another. I hope this helps??
