Home made electronic drum kit. I built triggers into an acoustic kit, and used mesh heads to keep it quiet. I'm using an Alesis DM5 as the midi brain, and Addictive Drums plugin in Logic Pro 8 software. So it's a real kit, with MESH heads (think expensive Roland electronic kit.) There is a mounting bar underneath the skin that I mount a $2 radio shack piezo microphone on, with foam making contact from the piezo to the drum head. The cymbals are plastic practice cymbals with triggers (also piezo microphones, literally screwed right into the plastic) with cymbal dampeners on top. There's a guy on ebay that sells a kit, with the mounting brackets and high hat converter. The cymbals you have to do yourself, but I think my cymbals are every bit as good as the $100+ ones you can find used.
