1. A real drum trigger monitor and amplified tone module, comprising:
a hollow drum shell having at least one drumhead closing one end of the drum shell for sensing vibrations of the drumhead;
an electronic trigger sensor mounted within the drum shell, the trigger sensor having an output;
a speaker subsystem mounted within the drum shell, the speaker subsystem having an input for receiving a signal;
wherein said speaker subsystem generates an audible sound;
a drum shell connector disposed on the drum shell, the drum shell connector having an input portion and an output portion, the output portion being electrically connected to the output of the trigger sensor and the input portion of the connector being electrically connected to the input of the speaker subsystem whereby said speaker subsystem produces said audible sound corresponding to the sensed vibrations of the drumhead.
