Now: If the folks over at Pearl would make an interface at the VST level that would allow for Mimic Pro hardware control from the DAW - that would be amazing.

If you really want to get into the issues associated with the VST performance, the needs for ULTRA low latency on the PC side, and the difference in flexibility at the VST GUI, then go for it, but for me, the module is a perfect in-between: all of the great sound and none of the hassle of dealing with a VST. Even if you are just going to dial everything in at the Module or use one of the great VEX packs and record the stereo out, the recording quality at the end of the process is really going to be great. It has inspired me to play/practice more and sounds really great when recorded. Many have suggested to use a module to play it in, using the module as the monitoring as well, and then switching after recording to monitoring the VST, but I have found that this is less than optimal as well, as my playing is affected by the sounds that I'm triggering and their response to my playing and expecting the performance to "play back" the same when not using it during the monitoring phase is not reality for me. I'd rather control that after recording the more raw sounds.
I don't want a bunch of EQ and compression at the module. I am always looking for a good, raw, sound that I can record and mix just as if it were an acoustic kit. I record the individual outs from the Mimic via the DB25 to multitrack and adjust at the mixing phase. The Mimic, when paired with a proper sound recording environment, is a perfect solution for me. That few milliseconds can make the difference between sounding like an amateur and a pro as far as the overall feel is concerned. It makes a GIANT difference in feel compared to VST for me. I may sense a TINY bit of latency, but it is negligible. I got the Mimic Pro and it responds about the same as the TD-20 did. They always felt "soft", squishy, late, slow, whatever. I had my TD-20 for years and just couldn't play with an VSTs to my satisfaction. Having played "around" with VSTs in the past, with a pretty decent recording PC with a dedicated audio card, there just isn't anything as satisfying to me as playing a low-latency module. Hey, if you have enough greenbacks-get both! the best of all worlds! Would I like to have some Toontrack kits in the Mimic-Absolutely! But I'm happy with the sounds in the Mimic too-they work well and there's plenty of options for tweaking. Make sure you factor in this critical computer hardware. To play and monitor the vst kits in real time, will require a fast (low latency) stable sound card/interface for the computer.
Be prepared to spend some time, as It's just a bit more to get set up, but the options are incredible for playing/recording drums. If you're looking to record, as in a home studio setting, you could skip a new module and go with SD3-a fantastic VST with great sounds/kits/processing. The sounds are great and the play-abililty of the module is fantastic-it just responds so well to playing. You turn it on and 20 seconds later you're playing. If you're jamming at home or playing live, the Mimic is excellent with great sounds-without any computer/interface fussing. I think it depends on what you're doing with edrums. Last, I have been able to set up a fantastic HH response - took me a bit going back and forth adjusting the ATV hats, TD30 and the SD3 - the functionality that really made it all work was SD3's ability to set the transition point for 7 sets of open closed samples - can really dial in how you want it to work, and can do this for each HH, no less. For me, SD3 is simply a joy to play on my eKit.

That said, sounds are always personal - after listening to countless Mimic demos and using the current SDD5 free kit as well as a previous SDD product, I'm still uninspired.

Plus Toontrack has dozens of expansion packs so you can dial in all kinds of sounds. SD3 has far more depth and features than SSD5 - for edrumming - setting up HH and snare - also stacking, lots of really good effect plugins vs none or SDD5, a much better mixer section, fantastic grooves, including great search function - would be good to take the time out and read in depth about SD3 and SDD 5. I chose to go with ATV drums and cymbals with TD30 and SD3.
