Electronic Drum Kit for a Trigger

[Madhatter10-6]

I am currently running Reason 3.0 and using its drum machine and triggering the samples with a MK-461C Keyboard that is velocity sensitive.

I want to buy and electronic drum kit to trigger the samples instead of a key board. Any suggestions on which one I should buy? Also, I would like to find one with no pre built sounds to save money. I have all the drum tones I want in reason and just need this to trigger them.

Thanks,

if you wanna go real cheap, you can build a rack from pvc and use practice pads.......lots of plans on how to build them on the net......

I did this with a Remo practice kit, Alesis DM5 and the Radio Shack Piezo buzzers. It took a day and a lot of hot glue. The results were more than acceptable especially considering the cost. The whole thing was about $250 including the module.
