Here is a clip of someone who calls himself "the Amazing David "Fingers" Haynes" drumming on an old and very battered Alesis HR-16B drum machine (triggering sounds from a Yamaha DTExpress). It's not quite this, but I love battered old plastic gear.

I must admit I fast forwarded a bit. Bet his girlfriend really likes it.
i think that is extremely cool, the fills were complete and complex, fills between the bass, snare and toms were awesome and showed alot of independence between those drums too....bravo
I know how awesome it feels to play along (badly) with the drums in "Block Rockin' Beats" on the standard GM layout, so to do something like that must be orgasmic!
I actually think thats better than the Akai kid. If you're a drummer, you know the kind of finnesse it takes to pull of what he's doing on an acoustic kit. The Akai kid is just just playing some swung metal beat of some sort. Pales in comparison to this.
This is cool too: http://scratchmagazine.com/features/0806.Namm/fx1.html
Dude is running this device called a ZenDrum through a Muse Receptor, triggering sounds from Fxpansion's BFD. Very cool.
There's a better clip of an Asian guy playing "rock and roll", but this one's great too. Makes you want to run out and buy one of these baby's right away.
