I'm really wanting to get into finger drumming and need some advice on what controller is the best for finger drumming.

The pads on akai max line of controllers are supposed to be much better.

I have a maschine and a midi fighter and I can honestly say for just pure finger drumming (like with mad zachs packs) that I enjoy the midi fighter more mianly because you can crab the buttons for fills much easier than with pads and to me its easier because I feel like the feedback of a button push is much more tactile than a pad.

That being said, the maschine is more versitile though if you want to finger drum now but possibly go into production later.

there is no "best", they all have different pros and cons

pads (from akai, korg, maschine, m-audio(trigger finger isn't made anymore but it's cool!) QuNeo, novation etc etc
buttons (not velocity sensitive) (namely Djranking s controller)

What do you intend using it with? what program? Not that this is very important.

You also have the pad+controller+software combos from Akai and Maschine

I don't do a lot of it, but the pads on the maschine are awesome for what little i have done.
