If done a bit of resaerch....seems I need a midi to usb cable, a drum sample pack and a sequencer for the PC..... wanted to take a minimalist approach to see how it works...ideas?

Chris,

I think you can do what you want, but you need someone other than me to tell you how!  I just tried plugging my DTXpress into my laptop with a cheapo MIDI interface and driving Reaper.  It works but there is a huge latency in the sound from the computer after you hit the pads (time taken for the midi to get to the computer and produce a new sound).  I guess there must always be latency, but I assume it can be lower than the 0.25 seconds I am hearing!

Keith.
