L lordmac1 New member Oct 26, 2010 #2 drum pads. i sample most of the time and i find the keyboard to be awkward.
J J_BoutThatQuick New member Oct 27, 2010 #3 I definitely say keys. No real reason for me. Just preference
BobbyBenzo Bobby Benzo Oct 27, 2010 #4 Most of my beats are sampled based so i prefer the pad. the pad for samples and drums, keyboard for everything else, I couldnt really get into chopping a sample on the keys, idk, just dont feel right

Xabiton Cupcake God Oct 27, 2010 #5 keys because i find it hard to make melodies on pads if I am not sampling
WatchWhatHappens1204 "Now you's can't leave." Oct 27, 2010 #6 Keys. Multipurpose. Makes everything feel like a composition.
J JThunder Guest Oct 28, 2010 #7 keys, you can sample with keys but you cant make melodies with pads (easily)
M Musikal1 Guest Oct 28, 2010 #8 Id say keyboards mainly because ive learned to work with them the most and you can basically do anything you can do on the pad.

saturatedskillz New member Oct 28, 2010 #11 I would have to say both. Pads for drums, and keys for everything else. I have a very hard time making melodies with pads.

N NoVA Entertainment Guest Oct 29, 2010 #13 Wow, I'm surprised how many people said keys. I'm a keyboardist and even I prefer pads. I also play midi drums live...but I love doing percussion on pads. I feel like I play too hard to be doing my drums on my keys.
