Just got my copy of LP9. YAY! Flex tool is pretty amazing!
Traq, Got the drum package as a whole bundled with Trigger IO and BFD lite..
The heads are ok for me as I'm only an occasional drummer although I find it a little deep as well. All the pads and cymbals work as published although the pads are not as sensitive as other brands however ok for tom work. Bang for the buck...
I've got a PD80R from Roland as a temp snare which works great apart from it being too bouncy and an extra 12" single zone hi-hat to act as a crash.
That said, the challenge here is really the calibration of the hi-hat pedal. I'm still working on it... Anyone care to share? Joel, any tips?
As for tri zones - It's a great feature but I prefer single zones as there's less crosstalk issues.
I guess the DT would be a better start than the DM5 just for the tri feature... I don't look at it as a waste as the module holds the feature, without it, using tri zone trigger pads would be utterly useless
Joel recommended a snare from Hart Dynamics but I'm set for a RET Percussion snare and eventually the whole kit. Anybody wants to get on the wagon for the snare?
