MIDI Drum Kit Recording Velocities in DAW

Hi
I'm looking to buy a MIDI drum kit. It seems that most of the ones I'm looking at in the £300-£800 price range respond to how hard you hit the drums. I can't find anywhere though whether how hard you hit the drums is played back and recorded into DAWs and Plug Ins/VSTs with their velocities.
The kits I'm considering are:
Roland RD-1KV
Roland TD11 Kev
WHD517-dx pro
WHD DD516-Pro
Alexis Forge
Yamaha dtx450k
DDrums DD1
DDrums 450
Please let me know if you know which of these have this feature. Also which of these you generally recommend.
Thanks
Steve
 
The actual kit (i.e., drum pad) is irrelevant to volatility and are all pretty much the same - really just comes down to feel (mesh heads v hitting a hunk of rubber) & build quality. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a e-drum brain/module that didn't support volatility. I have a old simmons brain form the 80s that has it..... and yes velocity information is captured in the midi notes recorded to a midi track in the DAW.
