triggering a sample live with pad

[bradcandcdrum]

I have a electronic drum pad, and when i am playing a gig, i want to be able to hit the pad and it plays a sample, (a 808 roland kick sample that has been edited to make it sound bigger over a pa)

what will i need? im assuming a drum module, however what modules have memory that you can upload .wav files onto it? then use it?

i bought a yamaha dtxpress III because the guy who sold it to me at the store told me i could upload samples onto it...turns out i can't. what a waste of $500, im 16 and that was like 4 months of work for me wasted hahaha

anyways, please help!

To be perfectly honest, you should have checked that before you bought it. If you just want to trigger one sound at a time, getting an all-in-one module unit will be much more suited to your needs than a full drum kit.
