Re: Buying additional pads question: Makins our own Triggers

2003-02-10 by ozteevan <ozteevan@yahoo.com>

Hi Brett

I tried the trigger described at 
http://derksens.com/E-drums/Beatnik/trigger(Page13).htm
and it was easy to build.

There is another useful site at
http://edrum.for.free.fr/index.php
which requires free registration to access.

Gary posted his very detailed designs at
http://oneaccord.homestead.com/edrum.html

I was also inspired to build my own when I saw how little was 
actually inside the commercial pads at
http://64.91.37.32/drumtools.htm
you get to see some pads being dismantled in the section called "Guts 
of the Edrum".

Good luck
