That's really useful advice - thank you. The resonant snare on the SDS-800 sounds like a useful feature.

I think it's the SDS-V I will dream of finding. With hihat module :-) Another newbie question - do you need SDS-V pads to trigger the SDS-V brain, or will other versions of the pads work? Am I right that the different versions of pads put out different voltages for their triggers?

Yes, I've noticed that one - looks very interesting. And expensive I would guess!!
