Hi, my first post is a boring question about Alesis compatability issues.

I've got an Alesis Performance Pad, and my Roland TD8 kick won't work with it (it only makes an initial triggering sound when you plug the lead in!) so I'm after another way of playing bass drum on the Performance Pad using a real bass pedal (no footswitches please!).

I've seen the Alesis DM Kick Pad advertised, but no where does it say whether or not it will work with the Performance Pad (only that it works with DM10, DM6, DM5, Trigger|iO, and ControlPad).

Does anyone here have any definitive knowledge as to whether the DM pad will successfully trigger the Performance Pad? I've e-mailed Alesis....and so farnada, so any help will be most welcome.
