uh no thanks, I'll go buy the same thing for 11 cents at HomeDepot. After some discussion and experimentation with others in the music community in Boston, I began inserting the piezos into Remo practice pads. but they are cheap, and a cool idea some guy had. Thankfully, this is a hard project to mess up, so I was able to create a number of cheap, durable drum triggers for extremely cheap, which then ran into an old Alesis DM-5 drum brain.

Like my grip peddlers, sure I could make those. Some things are just a friggin good product that should be supported. Port hole rings though? Come on, they are like $4 and take 10 seconds to use.

Odd's of running into another drummer with the same one, prob next to non.ĭoes it count as DIY if I have to fix stuff I bought? Had to re-work the mounts for my sambago bells, stupid LP. Though I also purchased a practice pad, called Zdrumpad. Then a about 2 years later, companies started coming out with em. How can I make drum backing tracks without a drum pad/drum kit I’ve finally got myself to start recording some music i’ve been working on for a while but the thing is I only have a way to record strings and keys at the moment. I routed it out from the bottom and put a altoids tin with ball bearings inside it. While I purchased my practice pad, I also DIY to have it's own snare noise. There's no less pride in working for your money to buy cool stuff either. It's always more significant to MAKE something rather than just buy it, especially things simple like pads, port hole reinforcements etc.Īnybody can go buy something, pride is in making it & saving a few dollars for equipment you cant reproduce
