Looking for an inexpensive drumpad. I had fun playing with the Roland spd-20, but I want something cheaper. I'm hoping to spend less than $200 new or used. Basically, I am not a drummer, but I want to be able to play my samples (I don't need a unit with a sound module, but it would be a bonus). Midi out is required, obviously....

Any affordable suggestions?

We just got an SPD-8 off Ebay for Au$256 [just under US$200]. It's in very good condition so it was a bargain.

HAve a look at this software http://www.koen.smartelectronix.com/KTDrumTrigger/

,you need a mic and a couple differnet surfaces to play one but you can trigger 3 different samples using the filteres with just one mic,I;ve only looked at it ,not tried it.

If you keep your eyes open, you can find some superb bargains on eBay. DK10 for under $200, for example. A steal - fantastic playing surface, so I hear.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm watching for the spd-8 and the dk10 on ebay.

Any others that will fill the bill?

(I'm also going to play with KTDrumTrigger, it could be fun.. espicially if it works well. I still think I want the drump pad feel and responsiveness, though)

if you just want something cheap look at the spd-6 too.... there's a bunch on ebay now for under 200
