Hi, I have Finale 2008 and before i purchase VDL2, I would like to know what else I'll need to use VDL2.

Since VDL will integrate right into Finale 2008 via the Kontakt Player 2, you're basically covered software wise.

If you do not already own one, a MIDI keyboard will be extremely helpful, especially if you are not used to working with percussion maps and percussion notation in Finale.  A Korg nanoKEY can be picked up for about $50, and M-Audio has some fairly inexpensive, quality keyboards as well:

Be sure to read the system requirements for [url=https://www.tapspace.com/Virtual-Drumline-25-pr-6.html]Virtual Drumline[/url]. Be sure your computer fits within those requirements. It definitely works better if you have a more current machine with a healthy amount of RAM, although some of this will depend on how thickly you plan to score your music.

Do I have to have a MIDI keyboard to use VDL?

No, but it really makes it much easier. Read this...
