I can help but first I need to know max budget. Get back to me with that, and i'll reply back with a a/e buildlist for your kit within your means.

Right now I might be able to squeeze 200. This would be for the whole project. I could probably spend more if I stretched it out over some time. I am watching a Roland TD7 and FD8 on eBay for $100. Is that a good start?

Hey cool man I got the same module! I'm going to assume you either have or can borrow headphones to speed this along. For this example i'm going to think along the lines of a 22bd 12/16ft 14sn. So from here we'll need -
4 pack whirlwind 1/4" instrument cables - $24
22/12/14/16" Pearl mesh heads - $50
Module - $100
5pack drumdial drum triggers w/ triggertraps - $70($50 without the traps, recommended for use on cymbals)
Total = $244. This is a good start for the budget specified. When you have a larger budget you can add in mutes and triggers for your cymbals, a trigger pedal for hi-hat, and possibly an e-drum amp for live practices or getting more volume. But what's above is everything you need to set up your drums.

I also found a Yamaha TMX, 3 old Roland pads1 kick two toms, three dual Yamaha pads a high hat pedal and all the cables for $175. Just spoke to the guy seemed pretty cool. Does this sound like a good deal?
Thanks,
Brad

Yeah it sounds like an excellent deal. I would go look at them, check the condition of everything, make sure there's no loose bolts and faulty cables(test them out) as that is a rather suspiciously low price for all of this. However, if you end up getting it, you might as well go with a regular e-kit instead of an acoustic to electronic conversion kit. I looked it up and it appears to be geared more towards external sounds than onboard ones like a dtxplorer or td-7 has. Great amount of inputs though, that's a good feature to have. You can use your computer with it if you pick up a midi to usb cable, alongside some software such as toontrack ezdrummer or bfd.

What do you mean by external and onboard sounds? And the pads are pretty old. The Roland’s are the octagon ones from the eighties. But if they, work I don’t care
Brad
By external I mean sounds gotten from something other than the module, and using the module specifically for inputs to get those sounds. Hooking it up to a computer and using software like bfd or toontrack is an example of that. You see the software is loaded with samples, and settings of those samples can be changed to suit different tastes. The sounds are sending from the software on the computer to the module, and then the headphones let you hear them unless you have an electronic drum amp available.
