This is a super old post, I know, but is there really a big difference between say.. a TD25 and an Alesis DM10/DM10X if you're using it with SD or EZ?Just wondering as I'm looking at a DM10, but if it's for whatever reason not as good as a TD25 when coupled with EZ then maybe I'm not looking at the right factors.
So I can't say anything about the Alesis. Never played it at all. What makes the TD25 super good and much better than the previous TD9 I had was the Supernatural engine. It is way more subtle at detecting the nuances of playing than the earlier machines. If you just want something that triggers at fairly defined velocities then I am sure that most drum modules/pads will do the trick. What sets Roland ahead of the pack in my opinion is the Supernatural engine. That said recently I have been playing the Roland with EZ Drummer 2 and I have to say the subtlety actually is almost too much. When doing tom rolls it seemed to almost miss some of the subtler hits. I need to probably tune the drum triggering a bit to get it more how I want it, but it would be good to have it on the EZ Drummer side. I think this is very much easier in Superior Drummer 3 which does look absolutely amazing
