Alesis Control Pad Usb/midi Percussion Pad Controller In Stock
If you have software to emulate drums sounds over USB, this is the potential full drum kit for you! I use Toontrack EZdrummer Multi Layer Drum Sampler under Sonar 8 (x64) and under ASIO Win 7 x64 drivers, there is ZERO latency!!
The sensitivity and feel is spot on. Great feedback and altough you have to wail pretty hard to hit 127 MIDI levels, you can easily configure it to automatically max out to 127 on any hit which is nice when you don't need to record such delicate playing.
The best part of this pad is that you can easily add on an external kick, hi-hat and 2 extra triggers. Using all of these would open up all 8 pads to pretty much a full set including all cymbals, toms and maybe even more cowbell.
Another great feature is that when hooked up via USB, the MIDI IN/OUT acts as a MIDI interface. I have an old Yamaha pf70 piano hooked up to the control pad and Sonar can receive input from the piano!
Several reviews warn, and I will do the same again. This is not a drum module and contains no sounds! It is simply a control pad only (clever name), so it will require software over USB or a standalone midi drum processing module for audio.

Alesis Control Pad Usb/midi Percussion Pad Controller Overview
With the Alesis ControlPad, you can play sounds from virtually any MIDI software, drum module, synthesizer or keyboard workstation, or other MIDI instrument with your sticks wherever you roam thanks to its compact profile and easy USB connectivity. The playing surface features eight rubber pads that provide natural response, rebound, and low stick-on-pad noise, and they're velocity sensitive so you can be as expressive as you want.
You can expand the ControlPad with additional pads and triggers. It has two trigger inputs for drum and cymbal pads or acoustic drum triggers plus a kick input, a hi-hat control connection, and a footswitch input for controlling other parameters like changing kits with your foot. Create up to 20 setups and store them in the ControlPad's memory, which offers such customizable programming capabilities as velocity sensitivity and curves, assignments, and more. The ControlPad works plug-and-play with Mac and PC, and is powered by its USB connection when working with a computer. You can also wall-power it when working with non-USB MIDI sound sources. It's also easy to mount on stands and racks using the E-Percussion Module Mount, sold separately. The ControlPad also comes with EZdrummer software drum module from Toontrack. EZdrummer has samples of real drum kits, a virtual mixer, and looping functions. Key Features
