DIY kick pedal practice pad (silent drumming)

[@marsmediapro]

Hi! I was looking for a DIY bass drum pedal set up for an electronic pad, and this will do fine, with some adjustment- Great video! I especially like that you used basic tools instead of $1000s of dollars of industrial shop tools! I've been watching drummers using a double pedal on one bass drum, so, I want to be able to use two actual pedals- one for an actual drum, and one for the electronic pad. Heck, I might even put together a kit w/just the pad as a drum? But this will have to wait until I am healed from surgery next month. Anywho, thanks for sharing! New subscriber!

i have an idea, take the treadle from an old singer sewing machine table and hook it up to 8 kick drums in a v8 fashion...as the treadle is operated like a stomp box to maintain rhythem, the drums are fired in a sequential pattern like a v8 which could be revved up and down by speeding up the pumping

Very cool mate. Learned a new trick with the salt technique as well

[@ZeroesandOnes]

That salt in the glue thing is a game changer

My family is relatively not poor I mean we have food and we're good off but I doubt we could afford a drum set so I'm using to learn at home..and trying to see ways to make my own to learn outside of school

Way too much work. I'd rather just buy the practice pad.

Skill issue👎

@@henrybay4807 I would have to spend almost the same amount of money just for all the materials?

I agree with Cody. The guy has special tools of all sorts. I don't. Since I don't foresee myself making any more wood projects, I'd be spending way more than the $30 that a very similar pad costs. Not to mention the time and effort to build it. Pass. I'm getting the $30 pad delivered to my door.

@@hecbiz7530$, that looks reasonable. I don’t know why, but here in Czechia, the prices I see are more like 70-100€ for such a pad (the standard vertical ones). Seems they only have more premium ones in store…
