Is aftertouch mainly a feature used with pads? I'm currently using an Alesis Micron to double as a synth and MIDI controller. Am I at a disadvantage for not having something like an M-Audio Axiom that has drum pads in terms of the control you have over creating drum patterns?
 
I much prefer pads to using a keyboard for drums since keys have way too much travel for banging out drum patterns for me. I guess it is personal preference though. I would just look for used pads like a trigger finger
 
Would you recommend the Trigger Finger for someone starting to use drum pads? It's pretty intuitive, right? Or I think if I do get one I'll get the Korg padKontrol, since it comes with so much extra software.

As easy as tapping away on table. The difference is the pad feel, go try them out to see what suits you
