Since I have a set of electric drums in my room within spitting distance of my PS3, I started looking in to ways that I could play Rock Band or Guitar Hero World Tour with them on the cheap. I initially thought that I could just get a MIDI-USB converter and run it straight into the Playstation but according to some forum posts, it&#8217;s not so simple. The Guitar Hero World Tour drumset has a MIDI in, but it would be very silly to purchase a toy plastic drumset so I can use the set of drums I already have. There is a device to translate midi messages into controller messages but for a pricetag over a hundred dollars, that&#8217;s out of the picture as well.
