The deliciously soft pads.

Like a teenage girls behind, you just want to touch and rub them.

One reason to get a trigger finger:
So you can have 16 drum pads and some knobs.

ZING.

Do you guys need those pads?A simple midi keyboard can not do the same thing to make the beats?

Depends on how you prefer to do things - I started on a MPC so the action of triggering with Keys as oppose to pads is foreign - very strange

I had a Trigger Finger but my boy needed keys to write patterns so I sold it

now I'm learning to actually perform the LIVE program and I want my pads back

I was in GC the other day, playing with the TRACK MUTE thing on the demo and I swear it was hella fun banging on the pads (mock performing)

it's just a preference

the AXIOM would be a good compromise - key's, pads, sliders knobs

peace

You are right...
I have an Edirol PCR-M30 with key velocity and more (knobs, sliders, buttons...). I can do everything with it...

Playing keys is not like playing drums at all. have you tried to do a roll or flam on keyboard keys? I'm a drummer and although the trigger finger isn't exactly like playing drums it's a hell of a lot better than usinfg keys.

Because a drum pad plays differently than a keyboard, your notes will sound different!

also true...(see above)

Why do you use your Oxygen8 instead of just inputting the notes? Do you really NEED that Oxygen 8?

Truth be told it is MUCH easier to use pads like those on the trigger finger than to use a keyboard.

Personally I use a SPD20 because as a drummer using sticks and pedals is the ONLY way for me to get my drum tracks done.

Since I'm a guitarist, not a keyboard player, I find it more comfortable to play percussion, trigger sample hits, or trigger the hold function on my guitar synth by whacking a pad than by playing a key. All those white keys look exactly the same to me. I never know which one to hit. The pad's easier for me for some reason. I don't get lost in its 4x4 grid.
