Solution to Adding Pintech Cymbals and Y-Splitter Problem-Help!

2001-12-24 by mike_bowden_uk

Hi everyone, 
just thought i'd update on this
The problem was that the Y-Splitter was incorrect, the two mono 
females went to the tip of the stereo male, and not one to the tip 
and one to the ring...i made myself a DIY splitter and it works fine.
My next project is adding better pads to the kit. I've taken my old 
acoustic kit, sawn each of the 12" and 13" toms in half, to get 4 
snare and tom pads. I've converted one with a Pearl mesh head and a 
DDrum Red-shot trigger, and it work amazing! Its incredibly 
sensitive, and a lot easier on the wrists. If anyone wants more 
details, let me know.
Mike
