Mapping Alesis Electronic Drum Kit

My buddy has an Alesis Nitro E-Kit and I'm wondering if this will work with Sonar and AD2? I'm assuming that it is probably a pretty standard setup but I was hoping that someone has experience with this kit before I have him drag the kit over to the house.
 
Thanks!

i have an alesis dm10 studio kit, and no worries using it, i guess you should be right, just a matter of mapping it with whatever drum vsti you are using, in your case ad2, just find the closest 'mapping' to the kit if it is not listed in ad2 under alesis, and just modify that mapping to suit, then save it for future use.

Do you know of any tutorials for doing the setup/mapping? I've never done it before.

if you read the relevant section in the ad2 manual it should get you going, i don't use ad2 that much, mainly bfd, but it's pretty easy to work out, i set ad2 up a long time ago and can't recall it being to difficult. just find the closest alesis kit in the list within ad2, check what kit pieces work and which don't, and you just map the ones that don't from your ekit to the corresponding piece in ad2, for example if your crash didn't work, you just map it to the crash within ad2. it's pretty easy really. i'll have a look later and refresh my memory and if you get stuck i may be able to help. if you are lucky your kit may already be listed, or may just work when you select a similar alesis kit.

For AD2, I setup the midi source to match the AD2 default map so latter if I choose to use an AD2 pattern it just drops in.  There may be an easier way??  It also just works with the PRV AD2 drum map.  I hope I explained that right.
