Don't know the Slate drums.  I'll go look into them.

BTW,  I have a sampled drum collection that I've been collecting with 
rigor for the last 15 years.
I sell it as a $30 DVD.    I went nuts going through friends sample 
collections,  different websites, some
of my own sampled sounds.

It sounds from all the important historical drum machines, synth drum 
sounds,  real drum kits and
acoustic and electric percussion.      They are all categorized 
timbrally so that they are very easy to
sort through in a sample sequencing program or virtual drum machine.

and I don't have V drums.

I have always used either a Roland Octapad...........long out of print 
but it had the ability to
layer up to three samples on one pad with digital crossfading that could 
be assigned to different
velocitys..........an awesome instrument and I"m astonished that most 
pads out these days aren't as
sophisticated.  I also have a Trigger Finger, but, honestly,  I have 
such an amazing collection
of drums and percussion that I rarely use electronic sounds.

The only time I do these days is using a new Simmons 'add-one' kit 
through a bunch of distortions
(and only two pads at a time) or when I program in FLStudio Producers 
Edition 10.0 where everything
I do is programmed (abeit, with a lot of programming nuance to make 
things sound more realistic).
