Conrad for instance. Very cheap, and different sizes available. These 
are meant to be used as piezo buzzers, but can be used as 
"microphones" as well.

Another option for a drum sensor is a tiny loudspeaker, that thing 
that is used for instance in the earphone part of a telephone. Not as 
cheap as a piezo, but you don't have to deal with high impedance. I've 
used these with success.
