Myself, I like to use it..
I've got an SDS8, for which I built a MIDI interface ;-
http://www.modulus-music.com/products/midi2sds/midi2sds2/
What I want now is something like an SDS7 or 9, something with EPROM
playback, though I could build myself one (I did once before).

Never heard any of their stuff.

Once the site is up, I'll add a wanted/for sale section, this should help
:-)

Have you used any of those 'pick ups' you can get, which attach to your
existing kit to give you MIDI?
I'm not a drummer, but I like the idea of using a real drummer, but with
electronic sounds.
