Well, in this respect, my setup's a bit dated, but that just means you can
pick up the gear cheap if you like. ;)
For years, I've used a DrumKat DK-10 with my Roland R8-m sound
module. I've got about six of the different expansion cards, but I find
the 'Mallet' card works quite nicely for marimba/vibraphone/etc, not to
mention some of the more esoteric instruments also included on the
card. R8-m's seem to be going at rather reasonable prices on Ebay these
days and most of the different cards come up for auction on a regular
basis
as well.
