Hi.
I just bought a Handsonic percussion thingy and am so far quite dissapointed in the bang-for-buck area. The advertisments state that it utilizes the vdrum technology, but I'm doubting it. The vdrum stuff that I've heard has a pretty wide variation in the velocity response range, but this thing just seems to be doing random sample changes and not really exhibiting the same physically modeled expressiveness experienced on the vdrum kit. Most of the sounds are actually just 1 sample with velocity controlling the amplitude and they sound no better than the sounds in the DM5 (i.e. cheap drum machine crap). For them to charge $1K for this is ludicrous. I'm definitely taking it back (30 day gaurantee!!), but my question is what are my other options? Obviously, the TD6 - SPD-6 combo would be a more economical option, but would it be any better sounding than the Handsonic?
TIA,
