There's that dreary Focus semi-reunion album from the 80's by Van Leer and Akkerman imaginatively called Focus. It would have been a passable release were it not for the drum machines.

BTW there is an electronic kit made by Roland called a TD3 we use for home rehearsals/writing sessions for our as yet, un-named prog band (see other post on this board) and although it response isn't perfect, it's very good indeed for keeping the noise down.

Actually Carl had something like this on the "3" tour with Keith Emerson.  He finally got out from behind the kit and ran back and forth around the stage... with it sort of mimicking Keith...  all he was missing was the pyrotechnics....It was the only interesting thing about that show...
