Regarding your questions (I think Leandro),
To get the lowest latency you need a proper kernel and a system that doesn't
add unneccesary stuff, so that all resources are dedicated to the sound.
I suggest to check out the MUSIX distro. It packs all that you need for music
production, doesn't need too much tweaking to get it started (there are like
"presets" for jack depending on what you want to do: audio recording, midi...).
And from my experience with drumkits, yes, you plug your drumkit to the
computer (not to the external soundcard).
I think I cant help you any further.

Hi guys , I recetly founded this amazing hydrogen software.
Some weeks ago a received this hobby drum set:
http://www.spikenzielabs.com/Catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1024
I finished assembly it and it is working now.
So far I tested this using ableton and it is working good but it still
have a little latency while playing.
Since im linux fan I preffer to make it work with hydrogen.
Here some of my questions.
Is it possible to make it work using my laptop sound card (alsa driver)
and usb-midi cable ? What is the lower latency I can get ? (so far I can
get 185 ms using ableton on a vm)
Is it better to use jack or jack2 ?
Is there any linux distro where the complete system works better ?
(hydrogen + jack + midi + usb-midi).
What are the mandatory things I need to check to make it work ? (kernel
modules , drivers , libraries , etc )
Thanks.

Hi Leandro,
welcome to this mailing list!
I would say that the overall setup should not be a problem for hydrogen.
In my experience a USB soundcard with a midi input is far superior to
those usb-midi cables, but this is (as always) a question of your
budget.
I can imagine that you could get better answers regarding the
perfomance-tuning of your systems either on the Linux audio users
mailing list (https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user) or
on the linuxmusicians forum (https://linuxmusicians.com).
Hope that helps,
Sebastian
