lighting the bass drum intrnal...I know, I know...

Its kinda out there.  But I am always looking at ways to make the kit and appearance of our shows more interesting,  even at the small level we are at.  My kick head is a white head with our logo on the front.  I am thinking putting a switched light inside the kick for shows we play at outside at night or in darker rooms it kinda glows.   Was thinking of some type of l.e.d light, maybe a flood light of sorts but something that puts out no heat.  Im looking for an alternative to the very, very expensive ones on e-bay.  Anybody try or know of anything that would work.......throw em at me!

Have you thought of about the LED strip lights?  I know that they wouldn't have the direct lighting effect that your thinking about, but it would give more of a glow.  As a bonus you can, get ones that change colors too. 

LED would be the way to go as the kick's heads are petroleum based and subject to melting. Also, any muffling you have in the kick would be a fire hazard! Though - the explosive kick worked for Keith Moon ... Even though it left Townshend half deaf!

yeah. i see rope lights used all the time.  quick and easy, cheap too.  just run the cord out of the port or bracket hole.  even drilling, you wouldn't need that big of a hole.  knock yourself out.  pics are a must when complete!!
