Welcome to our, (and now your), community and best of luck to you on your new journey.
I found myself constantly adding new gear, VST's etc. so be careful, that rabbit hole is deep and wide and can get expensive once you fall into it.....like I did.
I played acoustic drums back in the 80's and now play e drums exclusively.
I am now also dabbling in making my own music to play along to.
I have an MPC Live and Novation Circuit as well as a Roland JDXI synth. that I compose/create on and then route them through my 24 channel mixer to play along to if I get tired of playing along to other peoples music.
I can lay down drum tracks on each unit while composing then mute those drum tracks on each unit to play along with on my own kit that I assembled out of DM6 dual zone pads and several dual and tripple zone cymbals and a DM10 module which I recently replaced with a Strike module. I've also incorporated several multi pads into my current setup all on their own mixer channels. A Yamaha DTXM12, a Strike Multipad and an older Alesis sample pad.
I've also got a ton of outboard effects on the individual channel inserts and a digital mastering eq unit on the main inserts of the mixer as well as Superior Drummer 3 if I want to change up the overall kits.
I use 2 laptops routed through the mixer. One for Superior Drummer and one for my music library or youtube for playing along to drumless tracks.
Don't even get me started on bass pedals. I've got so many I could open my own shop. Right now I have 5 in my current setup. Two Pearl Demon drives for the Strike module/Superior drummer, a Trick Big foot on the Yamaha multipad, a Drumnetics on the Strike multipad and another Trick Bigfoot on the Alesis multipad.
Again, Welcome and best of luck.
