Well, this will get you started:
Edrum Monitor - Home

It will translate your controller data into midi signals. Then you'll need to find (or "find") a VSTi type virtual instrument, like EZDrummer.

You could also just get DTXMania, & make a really long simfile with no notes charted, so you could just freestyle using the drumsounds. You could even have a couple with different kits.

Doing that would require zero effort, so if you don't know how, I'll gladly hook it up for you. I have some limited experience making simfiles


Edit: oh & I forgot to mention, there's a whole bunch of drum rudiments for DTXMania that Ghostman made for training purposes:
