Electric Drums For MIDI

Hello, I have a Roland electric drum set, but I was wondering how I can plug it into my computer and use it as an MIDI. Any ideas???

A chain is no stronger than its weakest link...

    In general:
     
    1. Your controller (keyboard, drum set, whatever) needs to be MIDI equipped, with MIDI I/O supported either through a USB connection or dedicated MIDI ports.
    2. Unless your controller device (keyboard, drum set, whatever) has a USB connection, you'll need a MIDI interface on the computer. 
       
    3. In the latter case, MIDI OUT on the controller connects to MIDI IN on the computer's MIDI interface.
