Hello there fine users of the internet! Right now I'm using this pathetic ION Drum Rocker setup with my PC:
and it's really not cutting it, so I'm planning on buying the Alesis DM10 Studio set in about 3 months, and I have a few questions:
1.
Does it come with a bass pedal?If it does not, could I just use my existing one (A modified "Pulse Pro") with the bass pad?
2.
Could I use my existing single-zone rubber pads with it?I've looked around and found a few people saying that you can split a dual-zone input at the back of the DM10 module into two single-zone inputs, so exactly how many inputs would be left over once all the parts that come with the kit normally are set up? I plan to buy 1/4" Y-splitters and hook up between 2 and 4 of the least battered pads from the ION kit.
3.
Do the rubber cymbals, like the SURGE ones, have a 'choke strip' on the underside?I've not seen anywhere saying that they
don't but I'm still unsure.
4.
What kind of format are the sound sets that you can transfer to the module via USB?Are they a 'soundfont', or a Proprietary format? Just curious as I may try putting some together if it's possible.
Sorry if this isn't the right section for this, or if these questions have already been asked. Thanks in advance for any answers!
