Hi Alex
I have not seen a MIDI controller in my life!; I think i saw once a 
keyboard-like thing and they did  call that a MIDI controller.
I Have a Korg keyboard here, that according to its website you can 
install a midi driver for it, and It will act as a MIDI controller. 
Would that be good for drumming? or I need something that is not a keyboard.

Thanks for your awesome tips!
Cheers
Hadi
