I proudly endorse the following percussion companies:

Yamaha Percussion
Zildjian Cymbals
Remo Drumheads
Vic Firth Sticks and Mallets
Black Swamp Percussion

The Launchpad Pro Mk3 or the Launchpad X by Novation are my pad controllers of choice. Whether you are playing samples through Ableton Live or connecting to a tablet, either controller will allow you to play an instrument via note mode.
