hi-five

let me know when you are ready to MIDI it up to Superior Drummer !

Hey StudioDTA,

Since you're Superior Drumming like I intend, was the mapping from the VDrums pretty much on target? I didn't buy SD yet and have the old DFH samples and only the kick and snare were mapped right. Wondering how big a re-mapping headache I might have later.

Thanks

The TD10 lined up almost perfectly with ezdrummer AND SD2. I had to deal with odd numbers of toms with certain kits(like a kit with 4-5 toms while I have 3 tom triggers) and had to go on a midi note hunt to find either a cowbell or a cross stick, but the rest of the kit played fine right out of the gate. I hope its good to you too

Only thing I hate about the td30kv is the silver cymbals.. beside i think the surge cymbals are a bit better.
