I got annoyed that there wasn't already a freeware program to make the Rock Band 2 drums easy to use as a midi controller, so I ended up writing my own:
Bad news: it is for Windows only, and will only work with Xbox 360 versions of the drum kit Good news: it can detect the velocity of hits on the Rock Band 2 kit, and also works with the optional Mad Katz cymbals you can add.
