I'm interested for a kind of percussion controller for Kyma, for so far I think of a DrumKAT controller, it's very flexible to program and you have total control over MIDI.

Is this a good choice (the best) or, are there better ones.

Thanks,

I have no experience with any of these units but I've heard other players discuss them.

Drumbar - www.starrlabs.com
Handsonic - www.rolandus.com (or elsewhere)
ZenDrum - www.zendrum.com

Thank you for the info, the Zendrum looks great (first impression), I keep this one in my mind. Till the time I make my final decision I let you know.

I have a Zendrum ZX2. I do like it although I have not used it much. The midi note on is immediately followed by a note off (2 or 3 ticks) so you usually have to adjust any sound source so that it works appropriately. The built-in trigger maps for different scales is fun for melodic playing.

Thank you all for the suggestions. My choice is for the drumKAT turbo 2000. I'm not going to buy it right now, because first I upgrade my sequencer (from Atari Cubase to Mac Logic).
