Yeah you have to start somewhere and anywhere is a good start. The first thing I changed was the brain, i still have the DD506 brain somewhere, it had crosstalk settings, you pressed a button until...

Just had a look at the kit, never seen one of those before, but it looks like a re-branded and re-boxed session pro DD402, which wouldnt surprise me since theres a factory somewhere churning drum...

Video of the noise from the mesh heads, recorded on a SM-58 overhead : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9ojDEpY43o

I did a more recent video of the kit actually and the build, and me playing the actual kit : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGjSU1CWcYg

They are much quieter than rubber pads, its very noticeable when I play on another kit with PD-8's, but those are exceptionally hard anyway, as are my CY5 and CY8 really noisy, so might be an unfair...

Sorry no, I didnt write that very clear, I meant much quieter than standard rubber pads, the mesh heads you get a short quiet tuned note off them if that makes sence and not a thud lol, since the...

Thanks for the comments.. They are very quiet to play, compared to rubber pads they are almost silent. The 3x ply mesh heads which are on my snare, tom1 and tom2 can be tightened right up, so they...

Most times when you get hum its through the earth since the earth isnt actually at "zero", you get induction through it, but all the earths are tied together through the earth on the audio line...

The tascam gear is good, I have never used that mixer you have but use the DM series. I used to use the one in the picture for sub mixes on stage sent back digitally which gives me remote control...

Is that a tascam M series in the corner? cant quite make it out. Sorry I am a sound nerd lol! I do a fair bit of sound production work and processing, usually use the Yam digital disks but love the...

Yeah, what I was even more surprised with was that they are better than the PDX-8 roland pads, I dont know what the other roland pads are like because I havent used them, but certainly triggers...

Hi There..

Thanks for the compliments! You cant go wrong really, the piezo on the center which has the foam to the mesh head is between the tip and the outer earth on the jack, the rim piezo is...

That is exactly what a piezo is yes, it gives current when its bent, usually used as microphones or buzzers, but in this case its used as a shock / vibration sensor. They are incredibly sensitive, so...

You may yes, I didn't realise it was something I do until I watch the videos.

Thanks for the reply, I will work on that.

Here is a better video of my acoustic to digital conversion, I have had a bit of a re configure of the rack to give more strength to the snare and low tom..
...

I cant remember if I added to this thread and was waiting for moderation, so sorry if this is a duplicate.

I added the rest of my converted toms to the kit, and this is now how it looks :
...

Totally agree, I used to play on the default startup kit, then I found that one and totally love the sound of it.

Hay there,

The kit in the video is a clean Tama Starclassic.

Hay there, yeah well I started drumming in october, started out with a DM5 clone, after about 3 months I got bored with the dynamics and sounds, so went down the addictive drums route. In terms of...

I have finished the toms now and the are on the rack,

I have moved the 2 ply mesh head to tom 3 and put 3 ply mesh heads on the snare and other 2 toms.

here is some pictures of them :
...

Now I am happy with the 13 inch snare I made, I am now starting on the others, The mesh heads are ordered, I got 3 ply ones this time because the 2 ply ones seem to be out of stock anywhere, so its...

Thanks!

The sample for the snare and rim in that video is a Tama Starclassic 14x5.5, its a nice sounding kit

I have now got it mounted, so this is now how my kit looks :

And here is a video with the...

I used a 35mm piezo for the main center trigger, and a 27mm for the rim, I then used some foam I had hanging about, its softer that the foam they usually use but a really fast return, so I started...

I was getting a bit bored with my rubber snare, so I found on ebay 2 toms and tom bags, total cost 12 UK Pounds, inside were 12 inch and 13 inch toms, So this is what I did on Saturday Morning :
