Setting up electronic drums for rock band?

Sorry if this is the wrong section, if it is feel free to move it/flame me.

First things first, I need an electronic drum kit. Can you hook up ANY electronic drum kit to rock band? Looking to get a cheap one (Less than $500) that is great for playing rock band on and off pro mode. Second off, what else would I need to hook an electronic drum kit up to rock band?

I do not know the first thing about any of this, so please be patient and understanding with me. Thank you.

You would need it to have a MIDI out port, and you would need the Rock Band MIDI Pro Adapter to hook it up to Rock Band. THE MIDI Pro Adapter is around $40, and you would also need a MIDI cable, which you could find at RadioShack for about $10.

Thank you very much. I've been looking at this kit

Does anyone know how well this kit would work with rock band?

Almost wondering if I'm better off just buying replacement pads for my old Ions? What do you guys think? I don't know what to do, I'd assume replacement pads are much cheaper now a days than they used to be?

The DM10 does have MIDI Out, so odds are highly likely that it would work just fine with the MIDI Pro adapter.
