Beginer Finger Drumming Gear

ciao Everyone… i’m a tenor saxophone student looking to improve my timing and rhythm. seems that finger drumming is a good method to get my timing down.
question: i have a NEKTAR IMPACT LX mini device with 6 pads. could i use my NEKTAR device to take the Beginner Finger Drumming Course? what drums would be a good layout? my DAW has clap, cowbell, hat, kick, snare and tom.

Hey welcome! It looks like the Impact LX mini has 8 pads from the pictures? Or am I wrong here?

In this lesson in the beginner course I have some suggestions for layouts: Log In ‹ The Quest for Groove — WordPress

What I would do for sure is rotate the device so you have two vertical rows instead of this big horizontal one.
