Um, excuse me but where can you actually buy this? Can’t find a link to eg the manufacturer’s site (or even their name) anywhere on this page. Pathetic blogging.
The drum set shown here is made by a company called Pacific Digital. They made several different models, one of which I actually own. I don’t actually use it for normal drumming, but it works excellent for music games. Try gdamania.net to find more info.
These are called electronic drum kits, and can be purchased from several companies, including Roland and Yamaha.
They usually come with a sound module which will use sounds of drums to make the kit sound real (or sound like dance club effects, whatever you want, etc). Most of them are also MIDI controllers, which means they can also send what you’re playing (the “note” data, not the “sound” of the drums) to the computer for your music program to play.
If you want something cheaper that will still let you drum on stuff, you can get MIDI controllers that are meant to be hit by sticks or hit by your fingers.
Re: electronic drums. There’s a huge difference between electronic drums and a usb drum pad. My dad is a drummer and he has a roland v-session set. It was hella expensive and has a lot of features as Tom was saying, but the ones USBgeek linked to are $30 I think. You probably won’t get hardly any features on it. You might get a couple “kits” but that’s about it. I know Tom kind of said that, but I didn’t want anyone to be disappointed when they went to the company website and saw that they are thousands of dollars or that it says “inquire for price”
