Drum kit Recording/ Audio Interface

I'm not sure the exact details, but I do know that USB relies on the CPU to control the bus and data transfer, whereas firewire manages itself. Also, firewire can xfer data from one fw device to another peer-peer with no cpu or other resources besides the firewire interface required.

Ahh... I see. FW handles it's own bussing. Makes sense.
Thanks!
