I also once had a similarly sized setup centered around a DrumKAT, (with a sound module added). I was quite unproductive on that kit, but the newer SPD-30 has nicer pads and better onboard sounds. I had a mini kit based around the older SPD-20 with the exact same FD-8 and KD-7 foot triggers, eight years ago. I should mention at this point that I have tried it before. As real as any VST actually, with a great dynamic range. The silicone snare and three-zone ride cymbal were particularly wonderful using the default sounds in the module. I sold my Yamaha electronic drum set, built around a DTX-700 module, despite being very impressed at how real that sounded when playing jazz, and emulating acoustic drums, rims, bells, bows and all. I am now in a situation where having a big drum set around is not practical, and I needed to make a few compromises to get into a smaller footprint.
