Here's my dilema. I want to record some very fast drum parts. (double bass metal drums) I've tried both Akai and Korg controllers. No good. They're just not fast enough to keep up with my fingers and they drop a ton of hits. Even though I haven't tried it, I'm guessing the Trigger Finger is going have the same problem (being the same price point and all). A keyboard just won't cut it for me as I can't stand the feel of the keys when "playing drums". My best solution to get that nice rolling triplet double bass has been to use three fingers on three different pads but it's kind hard to keep my rhythm solid due to the finger stretch involved in that method.

The only thing I've found that looks like it would do the trick is the Zen Drum, but I'm not in a position to dump $1000 on one of those. Has anyone seen another "drum controller" at a price point between the $200 MIDI pad controllers and the wallet emptying, Zen Drum?
