This one is pretty dang simple. Its like having 3 stomp boxes next to each other. Each screen you can use to set up a different effect and you can hook it up to your computer and record to it if you want to. You can also make your own sounds or download them from other users online. The drum patterns are not bad. You simply press the rhythm button and it starts playing, then you can use the dial on the 1st window to select a beat and tempo, etc. you can also use the footswitch to start or stop the beat.

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.

Dude! If you got a drum plug-in (like BFD or EZ drummer) this thing is badass. Way better than sequencing drums with a mouse or keyboard.

I believe each trigger has nine velocity layers. So nine levels per drum/cymbal. However I never used any of the module sounds because they are terrible. Use the midi out function and find a good software drum library. You can adjust velocity curves more accurately from an external source anyway.

Get the Hercules, especially with you just getting into DJing, it's a great tool to learn the basics with. I've been djing for a year and half almost 2 years and now that I have the Hercules it's helping be a lot smoother with the transitions and it also helps with getting comfortable with mixing

Any midi controller can be used for laying out your drums with the use of a sampler and a daw. Hope this helps

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.

You should be able to use any standard bass drum pedal you like. The kick pad feels pretty good to play on but you're not going to experience the kind of rebound you would with a tensioned drumhead. Felt beaters are OK but I prefer to use a smooth plastic beater. I'd also recommend an adhesive bass drum patch.

I bought the GEC8 live instead...very reliable with more functionality (midi, etc). Love it

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.

I bought mine for use with my acoustic drums and then triggered them. I love the control of the sound for practicing and playing.

If you have some rhythm, yes. It is my first time using an mpc but I have played drums in the past so that has helped. Easy to use and endless capabilities. I wod be more concerned with getting it up and running and keeping it that way. Seems like there were a lot of little things i had to do initially.

It does not have effects in/out or an effects loop, but seems to do OK with external pedals. The built in looper is OK, and it has some drum sounds you can use.

There aren't any built in effects, but this is a solid mixer, especially for the price. There's so much you can do with this mixer for as small as it is. I'm using mine in my studio and I've not had one problem. I got this mixer back, I believe in March or April. So I would definitely recommend it.

This mixer has 99 effects options. About half of those are echo/reverb type effects. I really like the harmonizer effects.

Yes, you can just use effects. You don't need to use amp simulators. The amp simulators are incredible though. The Mesa Boogie Drive sim. is awesome.

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.
