Well, an edrum kit is the easiest for me, but I used a keyboard for years before I had a set. You can also use those drum pads...

I just checked the Avid Download site for my account and I was way off w/ the 12GB's! I was thinking of the GarageBand samples Download. Anyways, do I have to download all 3 of the AIR selections, as well as Xpand II, to get all the drum kits/presets? Like I was saying, I just need something to get my point across on demos...this isn't for a final product. I would like it to sound decent though. Thanks for the help.

So I don't have to waste time downloading everything, Xpand2 is the only one that has the drum samples I want, correct? Anyone use the Akai MPK Mini MK2? It has pads and keys. Thanks.

Um.. I think Structure free may have some drum samples, and then there is Boom. I would download everything you are entitled to.

If you use Roland edrums, and haven't already voted to try to improve PT's capabilities with them, you might want to consider doing so at - http://protools.ideascale.com/a/dtd/...rt/173973-3779.
