Record Electronic Drums

I am trying to record my Alesis DM6 Electronic Drumset with Audacity. I have a cable that plugs into the usb 2.0 port on the drum, and then plug the other end into my laptop. when I hit record, all I hear is the drumsticks hitting the pads, not the sound of the drums. How do I record the drums?
