As will be obvious by the end of this post, possibly sooner, I know diddly about electronic drums.
I need to get a drumset for practice and limited recording. I currently have an Alesis SR16 in my recording setup. As I understand it, one must have not only the electronic drums, but also a drum module. This is the "electronic" part of the kit, that which holds the sounds.
My question is this: would it be possible to use my SR16 as the drum module? Do most e-drum kits hookup through midi or something? OR is there a standard "e-drum kit connector" of some sort that only exists on drum modules? I've not used midi with the SR16, but I am wondering if I could connect a set of e-drums to it and get my sounds that way. For practice and demo recording, the SR16 sounds are fine for me.
I suspect the answer is no. So, given my stated purposes, might the Alesis DM5 be a good drum module to consider? Budget rather than quality is driving this decision...
Thanks for any help or pointers in the right direction!
