Looper's Delight

A couple of years ago I started a thread on this very subject when the drummer I was playing with was interested in adding loops to his arsenal. The question I asked which was never really answered involved the possibility of using a midi pad as a switch to control the looper's functions. We had a cheesy Yamahaha DD5 lying around; the sounds were horrible, but I wondered if since the unit has *some* midi capability, the pads could be used as stick-activated switches.
Does anyone have experience with this, or maybe with using a more sophisticated unit like a DrumKat or something as a controller?

Here's a challenge.
Has anyone considered a better way for a drummer to use the EDP footpedal
controls.
Unless midi is involved, I think all of us use our hi-hat foot to control the
record, overdub, etc functions.
My thought is to create switches that would respond to the down beat of
various crash cymbals. Double triggering seems to be a possible problem
though.
Any thoughts?
