Brett,

It's not that difficult to do but takes some ingenuity to do well. 
Check out http://www.electronicdrums.com/. The conversion designs 
cost a small fee to access, but membership gets you a small 
conversion packet with piezos and such, as well as step by step 
instructions for a number of different options. As Stewart reports, 
Jude's conversion is right out in the open for all to see, both on 
his website and at the edrumming and vdrums .com sites.
