    Re: Click / Impact Pads: How to use them

    It might work. I've had pretty terrible luck getting anything to stick without tape including factory-made products. The adhesive used on duct tape is called "pressure-sensitive adhesive" 3M makes an...

    Re: Click / Impact Pads: How to use them

    Okay back with another update:

    I made two new patches with steel and leather both using envelope-style construction described in my last post. The first one was made from a single piece of 18...

    Re: Click / Impact Pads: How to use them

    That could work! I personally like the very aggressive attack of the direct contact of pad to beater and this sandwich approach would probably make a warmer sound but I think that would work great...

    Re: Click / Impact Pads: How to use them

    Okay I'm back at it. I made a new pad out of a piece of 14ga mild steel but it seems excessively thick which makes it extremely heavy and tingy. So much so that I decided not to use it. Instead I...

    Re: Click / Impact Pads: How to use them

    So I've been going crazy trying to get this Danmar pad to stick. The felt failed pretty quickly and I've been looking for alternative methods to attach it to the head. Epoxy failed so I decided to...

    Re: Click / Impact Pads: How to use them

    Yeah that looks like the one. I got the double kick version.

    My felt completely failed and the gorilla tape I was using kept ripping at the edge of the pad. I'm definitely disappointed because I...

    I still swear by my click pads, just installed one last weekend.

    Re: S-Hoop Vs 3mm Triple Flange

    To anyone wondering, I bought used, generic die cast and have loved every second of them! I've been playing them about 2 years now.

    Re: Metronome recommendations needed.

    I use the Silver Wheel metronome app. It works great for me when I play live. Lots of good subdivision options. Also FREE.

    It holds a lot of presets, so I like to use it live. I can program song...

    S-Hoop Vs 3mm Triple Flange

    I'm thinking about replacing the 2.3mm hoops on my Sonor Black Mamba 13x7 maple snare. Ideally I would like to put die cast hoops on it, but the cost is prohibitive. I'd like to dry out the tone as...

    Re: Internal Mic'ing for drums

    I'm thinking about doing this. Apex makes a good, cheap, quality (good reviews) tom mic that I think I'll use, the APEX 326. My plan is this:

    Gibraltar/Sound Percussion click pad
    NO MUFFLING

  16. Re: Kickport...kick around your thoughts...

    I didn't like mine. I didn't like the extra weight. I found that my reso head was more muffled than my batter head, which seemed dumb. I use a plastic impact pad and hard beaters, so I get allllll...

    Re: PDP Concept Pedal

    I just brought these pedals home yesterday. I'll make a new thread about them soon.

    First thoughts:

    Kind of light-weight, especially compared to the beefy DW 7000's I was playing before. They...
