DIY Electronic Drums - 4

1

35mm Piezo Sensor is attached with double sided foam tape. The sensor comes with double-back foam tape installed on back. The Piezo Sensor is connected to the 1/4 Jack.

Update: A cheaper alternative using Radio Shack piezos that works just s well.  I use a circle of double sided tape the size of the ceramic part of the piezo to attach sensor to the support. How to remove piezo from plastic case.

I cut the foam sanding block into 1"x1"x1.5"  foam blocks with a hand  miter saw and peeled of the sanding surface. A band saw works well also.

I tried the foam cones that I purchased here. Had triggering problems like double triggering, miss triggering . Made many adjustments to the module with no success in getting it to trigger properly.

The sanding block foam blocks work great. I was able to set the module back to the default settings. No triggering problems at all.

If you don't want to use foam blocks. You can also make foam cones from the foam sanding blocks.

Double sided foam tape used to attach foam block to sensor.

I adjusted the sensor support so the foam block is 1/8" above the rim of the drum shell.
 
One down and three to go.  Now I need to create some DIY mesh heads using fiberglass window screen.
