One of our drummers I played with bought the Roland digital drum set. (I *think* Roland made them. They were triangle-shaped with the corners cut off a bit. The pads were black and the backs were white.)
He had the processor, of course, a single Kick with dual pedals. His "snare" pad had the regular hit area, plus each of the three edges was a pad as well. Basically, four pads on a single drum. He had three other single-pad drums as well. He used regular cymbals since he couldn't afford pads to simulate the cymbals. They sounded great and you never had to worry about mic'ing problems. We just ran it straight into the board. We also played with MIDI'ing them to one of our keyboards. That was just fun, but we never did it live. He finally got rid of them because they didn't feel like a real set of skins. I have heard that from many drummers who moved back from electronic to acoustic. When he was in high school, he was in band on the drum line. He "borrowed" a deep marching snare from the school, painted it our colors and used it for his snare. That thing would kick our asses! He never had to mic it, for sure!
