Hi,

I'm trying to make a choice on a drum midi trigger. I almost decided on TD-12 when I stumbled upon www.megadrum.info
I'm going to use my drums mostly with a PC, so onboard sounds aren't that important. So my question is what will I miss if I choose megadrum over TD-12?

Thank you
Sion.

Would think buying a TD-12 as purely a drum-trigger interface rather excessive.
The whole point of the TD-12 (and it's bigger brother the TD-20) is the control and expressiveness of the sounds. If your not planning on using them it would be a waste in my view.

Had a look at the link you provided, it would appear the megadrum is an interface you build yourself.
Then you would need to build a 'kit' of trigger pads.
It would certainly be much cheaper the buying a TD-12.
