Another idea for this would be to implement an IPad to the drum stand, using an app called iTeleport, that lets you see and control your computer screen via wireless. Video response is just a tiny bit slower than if you were at your computer, but then again you get multitouch interface integrated.

there are things that requires some consideration, like latency, if you use windows to run your vst, likewise it will happen. except you use a good soundcard and and a strong CPU (as windows takes up some CPU resources).and that will cost you alot more..other posibilites is, to have a dedicated system..like a linux which only run your vst..and didnt do anything else..except vst.

I believe that BFD can be ran without a host VST. I think a touch screen (which is pictured in this post) would work but, it might need to be a little larger. Keep in mind this post is mainly to show that this idea is possible.

This seems intriging! My concern is that all the VST drum software I’ve seen requires a VST host program, i.e. Cubase, etc., all of which cost a mint. Is there any standalone VST drum software out there I should know about? Is it any good? The other thing I wonder is if the VST drum software can be even controlled by a touch screen effectively.
