I don't know anything about the dDrums but most electronic drum kits 
are just piezo elements mounted under some rubber.  I picked up a Casio 
DZ-1 on ebay for $30 (http://www.sonicstate.com/synth/casio_dz1.cfm) 
and have used it to convert my drumkit into MIDI.  I also learned a 
very valuable lesson that day...I have ZERO ability to play the drums 
:)  If the dDrums kit has normal phono outputs it's probably the 
standard trigger signal and can easily be converted into midi.
