    should i get a midi drumpad

    i already have the launchpad but i really don't like using it for drumming because no velocity sensitivity and the buttons don't press like a drumpad
    i found http://www.amazon.com/Akai-Professio...ref=pd_cp_MI_1 and it looked like something that i would want, and on low enough of a budget to get as a christmas gift
    is it worth it?
    or, i found this one too http://www.amazon.com/Akai-Professio...m_cr_pr_sims_t

      "Why not?"

      Is pretty much my answer to any questions pertaining the purchasing of gear, unless you've already got something that is objectively better.

              John, I can't take you seriously with that profile pic.
              but i say go for it.

              I like the simple look of the mpd18 and that's what really attracts me to it.
              the only reason i'd get the mpd26 is for the samples, and if i were to perform live with it(ha).
              -disclaimer, i've never actually used, or know anything about launchpads so digest this information with caution.

              may the good arrow guide you

                  Not a question anyone can answer but yourself.

                  It's a preference and a price thing.

                  They basically do the same thing, the one that is twice expensive has a little bit more to mess with.


                  There is no magical combination of gear that makes an artist. If you run into situations where you need or wish you had a drum pad, buy one, but if you're buying one strictly because you notice a lot of producers have them, i'd hold onto your cash.
