DO IT YOURSELF
You might set up your own gears using any drum machines and amplifier you have already had.If you are not able to build TAPDRUM MIDI BRAIN KIT, you might build simple analog controller using a couples of piezo sensors.Make sure that your drum machines have Analog input to do this. You might check out discussion_list or contact urip@newmail.net for any question regarding to hardware connection and building controllers.
