[there's a thread that is the reverse of this on ddrums.com ...] 
the ddrum is great, fantastic, fluid... but other than editing the onboard sounds w/ pitch, decay, level... there isn't too much else other than loading your own samples which, not including the process of SAMPLING, is quite the slow process. if you're into rock or stuff that's down with the acoustic drum sound the ddrums are pretty much unsurprased as far as i can tell. but for distinctly electronic music, unless you like the dorky provided e-sounds or have the patience to make your own samples and load them (maybe having to repeat the process if the sound needs a little tweaking), it is a little lacking. the lack of multisampling also hurts. if only clavia had thought to make an editing program that was even 1/10 as slick as the interface on the actual ddrum brain... heaven. but alas, you want your own samples? sorry, no multisamples, not as good of sample compression as the provided sounds.. have fun!
of course i could get a sampler, but i want things to be as simple as possible, IE no MIDI if possible. just the drums, fx, mixer, amplification.
i am looking for an 'e-drum sound'. how ridiculous can the COSM get? i haven't been able to really delve into the programming on my visits to mars music or guitar center on the td8/10.. i'm going to try to get there tomorrow before many people arrive. the preset sounds are pretty nice, certainly. it sounds like it can be very promising, especially with the fx (which may or may not suck, but will certainly affect the sound!)
there are also other minor concerns.. ie, i'd like to mount my highhat ANYWHERE and still be able to put the pedal in it's normal place. no go with a normal highhat!
if the vdrums are indeed what i'm looking for anyone in the texas area wanna do a trade? i figure that my set (basically the ddrum system 1) would go for a little over the v-custom. ideally i'd like a v-pro! i could add some cash? hey let's talk! email me at.. [email protected]
also i will be doing some archive searching (web searches are futile as all that pops up is roland propoganda).
please excuse the lack of proper grammer, punctuation, any spellings etc. many waking hours!
[ps, the new signature megakits sound nice but where are the thuddy prog rock toms of yesteryear? i'd like to see a Jaki Liebezeit signature kit!]
