For _real_ velocity changes, you have to have actual samples of hits at different velocity
I totally agree with you, Carl. That's what's so great about the Ludwig kit (at least the first one-- haven't played around much with the second one). The "flam" and the "buzz" snare aren't just a bunch of louder and softer (but identical) snare hits. They are recordings of those actual techniques; it's their authenticity that sounds so good. Trying to approximate these techniques in any other kit is almost silly, because it sounds far too mechanical. Our ears must be able to tell the difference between a distinct hit and the same hit at a different volume. DC
