I use Toontracks Drum Tracker, Have him play it and then this program will take the hits, and convert them to midi for you. Then you just open Cubase or what ever you use and import Midi file walla!!!!

Here is an example of what im talking about. its not finished yet, and its real cymbals mixed with midi drums! but you get the idea.

If he's using an E-Kit which I think you stated! Most of them have a Midi out on the drum module you can connect that to your interface record an bam! midi drum notes played live!
