Cameron was over on the weekend and set up the drum set in the studio. We routed it through my interface (Alesis iO-26) without a hitch, and played the audio through Ableton Live!.  The sounds on the TD-12s brain were very nice, though we are looking forward to using the MIDI capabilities of that unit to leverage some more versatile sounds we craft in Reason and Live!.

The potential is now there for Cameron to provide awesome, live drumming for any of the projects I am involved with, as well as establish a new sound and direction for a new yet-to-be-officially-named-project with the likes of Cameron and Jeff.  The utility of having alive drummer will make our performances that much more interactive for the crowd, and I am very much looking forward to it!
