E-drumkit recommendation for using with drum VST
I'm looking for an E-drumkit to be used with a drum VST (I'm using drum samples from NI's Komplete 11).
Because I will be routing the midi data to my computer and use Komplete 11's samples, it is of no importance at all that the built-in sounds of the drumkit are any good.
However I was wondering what the advantages are of buying more expensive drums versus cheaper drums for my specific purpose? I'm not a real drummer but I heard that cheap E-drums have fewer velocity levels on their pads and cymbals than cheap E-drums?
Could somebody give a few recommendations for specific drumsets? I really don't know what price point I should be thinking of given that I will not be using the built-in samples.
Thanks for your time!
Regards,
Bart

Could I take a different route?...
Why spend the money, especially if you're not actually a drummer?
Two passes on a keyboard, one for the top of the kit & one for the kick drum.
Quick edit to remove any obvious glitches or 3-handedness & you're done.
Couple of examples done this way - you'll probably hate them, but just listen to the drums
Warning!... library music - safe for elevators ;-))

I chose those because they're quite freeform. Stricter drumming is, of course, far easier to do - as you can do it verse/chorus at a time.
Note: I have 2 drumkits in the store room - they never come out these days because this method is so quick & I don't have to mic anything up.
