So I was just messing around with garageband on my mac this weekend and I really want an electronic drumset, but it's not happening for a little while due to money issues.

so I took the Rock Band set and plugged it into my computer via USB cable and downloaded the following:

XBox Controller Driver:

Gamepad:

all credits to this video, http://youtube.com/watch?v=uvne--QY_FI I didn't think of this idea just publicizing it.

1. Plug in Drums

2. Install Xbox 360 Driver and Gamepad Companion

3. Open up Garageband and The Xbox 360 program

4. In Garageband open the musical typing tool

5. In the 360 program decide what drum you want to match with which key on your keyboard and play away.

I'll post a video explaining setup, I know this one sucks, just a general how to I'll enhance on.

Sounds interesting. I've only heard of a program that simulates an Electric Kit via the Rock Band set, but not one that allows for custom songs and such. (Except for DXM Mania.)
