poo poo, dude. Only setup I can think of is get an interface with MIDI that doesn't lag on you, get some MIDI foot triggers, and use them in a DAW that can take MIDI to the moon and back. I'm not really sure what better connection to your laptop you're expecting; this is kind of what MIDI was engineered for. I haven't explored it as much as I'd like to, but I know Ableton Live can make anything that can happen at all fire with a MIDI note, and there are plenty of foot controllers available. It would take some practice, but using the corner of a guitar controller or setting up some bullshit with tilting an expression pedal back and forth for kick on heel and snare on toe, having a MIDI channel trigger on a threshold the pedal would cross, seems like it could do what you need.

All else fails you could just assign two pedals on one of these to drum notes.
