I'd rcommend using some drum pads as well, I recently purchased the Roland SPD - S, the combination is great (so long as you get the callibration of MIDI vel > Sample range right)
In effect you could actually have a complete playable drum kit in your bedroom, especially if you buy the additional footpedals that I know are available (kick drum and hat trigger)

Using MIDI pads will unlock the software in a way that'll surprise you if your a non believer and only work with the drum editor and a graphical pencil.

I used BFD for a while, but I find it lacks detail, especially the Hi hats and cymbals, although I know the new 22gig upgrade pack attempts to resolve this.
