Second, electronic drumset response and realism is such that – even when we’re not using our kit’s native sounds – we can fire out detailed MIDI messages to a computer (usually via an onboard audio/MIDI interface to make things even easier) which then plays the aforementioned sounds with nearly no latency. First, our computers are now more than well-equipped to host gigabytes of sound libraries, and what’s more, these samples can temporarily be loaded into our Mac or PC’s RAM for lightning-fast playback.
