Just use the B diagram Keith provided in the files section without R1 and VR1. Parts for Yamaha KP65 drum trigger (radio shack part number): 1x 1.0µF 35V 20% Dipped Tantalum Capacitor (272-1434) or any other 1µF-3µF cap. I stole one from a bad power supply 1x 1M-Ohm resistor (271-1356) 1x NPN transistor 2N3904 (276-2016) or 2N4401 (276-2058). I felt that the 2N3904 worked better but who knows. 1x mini-board cut down to ¼ (part #276-148) 1x shielded cable with 1/8" headphone plug stereo or mono (42-2387) www.radioshack.com only had stereo so I wired the black to the shield where to make it a mono cable. Optional: 1x Enclosure box for the project; (270-1801) Optional: 1x three-conductor 1/4" stereo phone jacks (274-312B) If you are making your own trigger: 1x 1K Ohm 1/4-Watt Carbon Film Resistor (271-1321) - R1 in Keith's diagram 1x 100k Ohm VR (271-284) VR1 in Keith's diagram. 1x Piezo Element 1500-3000Hz (273-073) Take a look here http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php? t=11121&page=4 to physically build the components, just don't use any of the diagrams there. I also used a 1¼ hole saw (metal cutting bit) in a drill press to nip two semi circles out of the KP65 stand. This is to allow the kp65 to fit over the back support bar of the RB drums I removed the bar closest to me. I made the holes in the stand just behind where the stand meets the upright (if that makes sense). You could probably just use a grinder since you don't have to take much out of the stand. I'll post a diagram and pictures if I have time. -Jeff This post is supplied as is with no written or implied warranty and I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your RB drums, Xbox, or yourself.
