How to make DIY electronic drum pads

[@CosmicNinja]

This is perfect thanks, I have not been using the metal base so I had to be super directional with my sticks, gonna remake with the metal base now. Thanks again perfect video explanation.

[@randymartin9040]

Very cool video, I wish you'd shown them in action though, I still have so many questions lol

[@makaivictor8795]

I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!

[@dallasheath1669]

@Makai Victor Instablaster ;)

[@makaivictor8795]

@Dallas Heath i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@makaivictor8795]

@Dallas Heath it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

[@dallasheath1669]

@Makai Victor no problem :D

[@ColettaHughes]

7:50 enter the magic of velcro... just sew it to the foam by hand . Or glue nonslip rubber to the bottom foam pad.

[@alexfx7768]

Really awesome tut, keep it up!

[@altouna]

You need to add a link to your website in the description!

[@facundogonzalez586]

Can I buy it from Argentina??

[@eugeniovasquez3780]

Awesome thx4this

[@mal2ksc]

Have you tried this? • Cut a hole in the board slightly larger than the drum pad. (Maybe half an inch bigger all the way around.) • Glue a net over the hole. If this isn't secure enough, use two thin boards with holes, and a net sandwiched between them. (Then you can probably just bolt the two together and skip the glue.) • Glue the drum pad to the net. That shouldn't allow too much vibration to get through, and what does will all be low-frequency.

HA the "Wrap It Up" Box from Chapelles Show. Sorry i had to say it. Awesome tut btw

[@neerajnarwalmusic6357]

where to buy that drum kit connector.

[@jjs9672]

I am planning on making my own e-drum kit. Can I make the pads as big as I want?

[@anjalighatti1378]

No reply even after 4 years 😂😂😂👍

[@jjs9672]

@@anjalighatti1378 Lmao nah.. Just went ahead and bought a kit

[@jojomizo_2647]

Can you tell me how to buy thoes Arduino ... please❤️

[@Swenglish]

Can the drum kit kit ocho be expanded? If not, what would be awesome is a drum kit kit that supports a full kit. Snare + rim (2) Three toms + rims or aux triggers (6) Bass drum (1) Three cymbals, bell trigger on the ride, choke switch on the crash, pedal for the hi-hat (6, I think) I think that's 15 total. Perhaps make it 16 just in case.

[@marianoperez3750]

cant you just buy two ochos?

[@rockabelbeats6085]

Great tips

[@letsmakeown5744]

can you please tell what the buttons are connected to tha pin? or great help (drum kit ocho)

[@ravelitschimo]

Thank you

[@parthapratimdas1200]

Can you please tell me .. Where to get this electronic drum kit???

[@rajthilakk]

Can I use a steel plate of 2mm thickness as the base?

[@Llink4n]

this is great, but sensors are velocity compatible? or it's just an On/Off signal ?

[@brokenscenesnz]

piezo transducers are velocity sensitive, I'm not an expert BTW I've just seen alot of these videos hahaha

[@Llink4n]

+Dayne Lennon I did the same ahah. Thanks anyway

[@melhordamusicabrasil]

So you build this and conect into some hardware in pc, and you have a eletric drum is that it?

[@doernmacdonald7444]

do you have a link to by the drum kits?

[@michaelmurray5105]

I don't know if this is the specific kit in the video but it's the one I happened to be looking at on their website. www.spikenzielabs.com/Catalog/drum-kits/drum-kit-kit-ai

[@opa1571-j2j]

Is it possible to make an electronic djembe with this?

[@mklschwrtz2]

Should be! Most drum modules have alot of percussion sounds on them

[@nomex8461]

Only thing I'd suggest is a respirator for when it's time for the Super 77. Spray paint is one thing, but glue in your lungs... eh. Thanks for the video!

[@alexfx7768]

Do you ship to South America?

[@Havoid]

I'm confused about the piezo disk.. Does it need to be attached to a hard surface to work? Could it be a soft (rubber) surface instead? What if the metal disk short-circuit the piezo (if it is even possible)? Great tutorial btw, thanks :)

[@agentcalm]

HiMarion. Im guessing the piezo has to be on metal in order for the vibration of the "hit" to activate the sensor. The rubber covering is to give the drum stick bounce so you can do rolls etc. The metal wont short the sensor. The wires from the sensor are away from the drum pad and soldered. You can cover this solder joint with electrical tape. Hope this helps :)

[@mal2ksc]

It also helps if you shorten one of the wires on the piezo, and use a slightly longer extension wire to compensate. Then your solder joints aren't side by side, they're staggered, so even if the electrical tape wears through they're unlikely to short out.

[@Killadey]

HiMarion, Do you think sheet acrylic would work instead of metal?

[@Havoid]

+Killadey I was thinking about that too..

[@Killadey]

I might try have to try it. I'm hoping I can pick up some pie dishes on the cheap. The one's where the bottom lifts out, I can use that as my disk, and there should be enough of a 'ledge' left in the tin for the foam to sit on top. I'm hoping the foam will act as a decoupler to the rim, so I can go duel zone.

[@ponikoreg2839]

Can I connect this to a pc keyboard? And then mapping in a DAW?

[@guitarraenllamas]

yes, If you can send MIDI messages then your daw can use this signal. I did it.

[@ohmightyone]

For anyone curious about this line of thinking, I don't think a pc QWERTY keyboard will work, as that uses a key matrix, not an individual circuit for each momentary button. To marry the two, consider a C-PAC controller. :)

[@flipkirby6235]

What is the contact number to buy this product?

[@BenWilliams-nh5cg]

Canadian much? Great vid BTW...

[@ppauljefferson]

sir if i pay you can you do like this for me ?

[@radicalgeek]

Can this work with a linux?

[@roysuherman6105]

Spikenzie some electronic from you please?midi control?

[@roysuherman6105]

hi Spikenzie,looks like you making alots of small drum,and if you dont mind? can i have some please?i buy? or for free

[@isaackracoff1021]

Pro-tip: Try to say "pro-tip" less. Besides that, great video!

[@BenWilliams-nh5cg]

"Sheet of metal" tho. 3mm bronze? 1.8mm titanium? Stainless steel judging by the sound. 304? Thickness?

[@Spikenzie]

It's just a thin sheet of aluminum from hardware store. 0.025" thick

[@Francisco17Berrios]

@@Spikenzie Whats the reason behind that sheet of metal?

[@jimscobie6646]

that's the easy part. I am struggling to write a sketch. Can you explain that?

[@guitarraenllamas]

I made it work with this info www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_MIDI.html

[@ashpash150]

i love the kit but after looking on your store i found that that Ocho just doesn't have enough connections i need more than 8 im probably going to end up building my own i have an Arduino mega so iv got plenty of pins to play with i can just use a pcb connect the Piezo to the arduino like in this guide www.instructables.com/id/MIDI-Arduino-Drums/?ALLSTEPS with the Arduino mega i have 15 ports to play with so on top of a standard drum setup I can have things like cowbells and more cymbals

[@andresbr.4283]

Thank you!!! :D

If anyone has done this, can you tell me how much it costed you in total?

how to plug in many drum pads in computer? please help! :((((

[@roysuherman6105]

waow..clear for me now?cos in indonesian?alots of people making like him,but still unclear,cos they only show the thing Arduino and the drum kit,they didnt show how to make the drum kits..make me sick...and thankyou for Spikenzie?ill try to make it thanks

[@mattmccartney3117]

Why don't you just use lids from cans instead of cutting them yourself ?

[@frankyforearmsnycnh1]

So by the time you buy all the necessary supplies, it will wind up costing you 10 times the cost of store bought!

[@dontpanic1982]

hobbyists. there are some cool things you can do. this is just a basic thing. if you build it yourself you control functionality. but it is a lot more work - ie hobby just like anything else. when you grow up you might understand.
