So I have been trying to make some decent drum loops in ableton without any success... They are either generic sounding, or I don't know... missing that special something. I am now looking to possibly invest in a drum set to make drum loops. My question is if I should get a real drum kit, an electric drum kit, or if I just don't know what I'm doing in ableton and need help with technique and midi assignment. I would like to be able to do this with ableton and my apc40 midi assigned to some drum sounds, but only if it is possible to get truly great drum sounds... Does anyone have a video or setup like this they use? Perhaps give me a little knowledge of your process? Otherwise, should I get a drum kit and mic it? Should I get an electric kit and just send it to the DAW? Perhaps some brands, the budget is about $500 right now... Thanks in advance to anyone with some knowledge, I'm just a guitarist trying to make some decent backing drums for writing and jamming solo...
