You are right about the electronicdrums site.  It is the best $20 i spent in a long while.  For about $800, I now have an all Roland head set 
with  a dual zone 8", dual zone 12" for snare, 4  x 12" single zones for toms and kick and two plastic cymbals mounted on an all-metal-
clamp rack.  That includes the DTxpress I just picked up for $230 off of  Fleabay. 
No DIY talents needed!!! If you have ever fixed a cable with a soldering iron you can make these drums.   Roland should not be charging 
$299 for a plastic drum with a few dollars worth of electronics inside.   Just get a few CB700 drums and cut them in half and slap the 
roland heads on them.   Everything else can be bought at Radio Shack and Home Depot for about $10 per drum.
