I have been playing drums for a couple of years but have been on hiatus for the last 4 months because i moved into an apartment. i would like a cheap, velocity sensitive unit. i only really need three toms, a snare, a kick, hi hat and two cymbals. the module is not anything i have a preferance on but i like some DM5 sounds. if anyone has anything, or any ideas, or if you think it would be cheaper to diy please share. thank you all very much

Well, you have been here a while, so you probably know the score. DIY is the cheapest way to get to a mesh head kit, but I'm pretty sure the DM5 is not the best choice for mesh head drums. I think it only supports single-zone pads as well, and only two hi-hat positions. Single-zone pads are pretty easy to make (plywood, rubber, and a piezo disc), so DIY is the cheapest way to go if you have a workshop, tools, and basic skills.
The TD3 is a popular starting module with some expansion capabilities, so I would recommend that (or possibly a Yamaha kit) as a starting point.
Studying the DIY section and searching for "apartment", "neighbors", "soundproofing", etc. will yield a lot of helpful information.
