I don't have a handsonic either...

I do have a Korg Wavedrum, and its a wavedrum group I started on yahoo.  
The 
wavedrum is a whole 'nother realm of instrument, its really a synthesizer 
with a percussion specific controller.  It has a single head with a 
pickup, 
a mic, and a pressure sensor.  It also has a rim trigger.  All these 
inputs 
feed into the synthesis engine to make all kinds of percussion sounds - 
some 
VERY realistic, spacey, fantasy, electronic, ect.  You can play it with 
hands, sticks, brushes, ect all with very nice effect.

I would definately look into a wavedrum for replacing mic'd percussion, 
although its not in production anymore and they are fairly rare, they can 
be 
found without too much trouble.
