Question: Cheap drum trigger to MIDI converter

Is there a commerical version of something like this eDrum project? I've found severa "drum modules" that take input from drum trigger devices and turn them into MIDI, but most of them are quite expensive. I'm hoping this is because they include built in sound generation. I am simply looking for a box that will take trigger inputs and produce MIDI output for as little as possible.

This reminded of a Hack-A-Day post to make your own MIDI drum triggers with piezo pickups.

Maybe something like this drum trigger to MIDI kit from PAiA? No onboard sound generation at all. You do have to build it yourself, but it isn't all that difficult (I've done it myself)...
