Does anybody use the Yamaha DD65? If so, how are the dynamics? Does using this lead to alot of similar notes in a row? Can anybody recommend an affordable unit to trigger EZDrummer in Reaper?

I have a Yamaha DD55c and I've muted its local sounds so I can use use the pads. Also since I'm left handed, I've had to use a virtual midi port and a midi mapper program to make left-handed "kits" for my self. The VSTi I'm using is Jamstix. It all works well in Reaper with no perceivable latency. It's difficult to coax dynamics out of this setup, but I'm sure my lack of drumming skill contributes to that.

easy and fun project man. cut one end off a guitar lead and solder it to a piezo from a small speaker,alrmclock,radio or wherever u find it. And whammo, u got a mic and trigger good to go! google it for thorough instructions. u will end up making heaps of them like i did and record symphonies of barefeet dragging across carpet and vibrations thru sheets of metal hung in front of gtr amps!

I recently bought a used dd55 and so far so good. Haven't had much time to experiment with it yet but it seems like it'll do the trick. I don't expect perfect dynamics but something tells me that using various weight sticks will be part of coaxing some dynamics out of this. Another thing to know - the pedals that come with this are little plastic things. I plan on buying some pedals designed for serious electronic drums eventually.

sorry, I am not sure what you're question is dudie.. will have a guess: forgetting all the dd55 stuff for a second. i have triggers (some are dd55 pads that i removed, some are diy triggers using piezos mounted to mesh heads - as the other guys have pointed to!) these are plugged in directly to my audio interface. no midi brain. 1 pad/drum per input. sometimes the signal is hot so an input with gain control helps to tame things... then i use e.g. numerous instances of the free vst ktdrumtrigger to trigger different midi notes based on the pad input. that midi can then trigger a drum vsti... for best velocity detection there is a latency of say 10ms - but with headphones on you can play live no problem i find. no note moving is required once the trigger plugin is setup correctly (you choose which midi note it triggers) - and yeh have a good old read around, nice use of an evening.

Not exactly drum pads but .... Have you considered something like the Korg padKontrol? I have used the DD55 in the past and couldn't get on with it at all. The padKontrol works superbly IMO. Not for real drummists though. My 2cents
