Hello, I've just purchased a Roland HPD-15 Handsonic, and since it didn't work to use a FD-7 or FD-8 as a kick drum trigger pedal like I hoped, I need to get a dedicated kick drum trigger like the Roland KD-7 or KD-8 or similar. I'm primarily thinking to find a used one, and between these two the KD-7 seems most appealing to me, primarily because of the small size, but then I'll also need a special Kick Beater for this of course (KDB-7). What are the advantages/disadvantages of the KD-7 vs the KD-8?
And how about the Yamaha KP65, this cost much less than the Rolands, how does this compare to those, and will it be compatible with the Handsonic (I've heard that Yamaha and Roland stuff don't always work good together..)?
And are there other contestants to consider in this price range (preferrably below the Rolands), that will work fine with the Handsonic?
And with any of these above mentioned units, you'll need a kick drum pedal, of course, will any regular pedal do for this purpose?
For the record, I'm really a guitarist, not a drummer, hence these "stupid" questions.. ;-)
