alesis usb pro pad comparison?

[woods]

I would like to get a sense of the alesis pads.

First question: How do the alesis usb pro pads and surge cymbals compare
to Roland's overall?

Do the alesis pads compare to the Roland entry level
pads and cymbals?

Thanks,

Woods

They compare, but not well:

New Alesis USB Pro kit

anyone tried alesis pads with roland module?

Do you read forums or just paste the same questions at multiple sites?

Very nice BarT. Somehow I missed that "tried Alesis Pads w/ Roland" In there is a pretty good link that shows somebody DIY some cheap pads into mesh. It explains alot to me.

I did previously read the other two threads that you mention, and ...

I will add, however, that in all the other forum searches that I did -- there's not much good comparison of the alesis usb pro pads with others. Some quick and dirty stuff for sure -- but nothing that tries to shead some real light on these pads and cymbals.

Thanks very much though.
