Use Drums as a MIDI Controller In this video Isaac Cotec, a certified Ableton trainer, explains how to convert live drums into a MIDI controller. The only thing you need is a free VST plugin called KTdrumtrigger, drums and some cheap mics, (Cotec uses a set of piezo mics that you can grab here at Amazon.) Check out the video to get a full explanation. Great for any musician trying to enhance their live performance or to add a human feel to your tracks.
