I was interested to see if anyone else had figured this out. Another tip is dropping a volume pot in the circuit so you have a bit more immediate control without messing with module settings I use mine to mix in live Tom samples on top of my real Tom, and to set off music phrases in other kit voices! Super cool hack mines in a plastic cannabis can and zip tied onto my drum.
@@FrannBI know nothing about stuff like this at all but I don't think a goofy piezo will damage the drum module. Cause a piezo is not really a part of the module. Same way that if you break your phone screen doesn't mean the whole phone is destroyed you just gotta replace the screen. But I ain't sure
I'm planning to buy this tabletop drums as my first drum but lot of review says that the pedals are not thst great so instead of spending like 40 bucks on pedals im thinking of just creating my own. But if i dont manage to make them i'd probably just spend 40 bucks lmao
My biggest fear about this project is the retriggering because it's the literal reason why I'm gonna try and make these, apparently the pedals that comes with the table top I'm gonna buy retriggers so much. And unlike his, I'm making a pedal so idk how to reduce vibration
Yes it's a simple as that. When was discs weren't widely available in New Zealand. I bought some of those cheap window alarms. Broke them open and got the discs out. But another solution. Is buying one of those plug-in cables. That you plug into a guitar tuner. And you've already got a clip on. 🙂 And also yes it's true. You can tunr drum kit with a guitar tuner. A clip on one. My old drummer. Was perfectly tuned. Just one question please. Are there any pros and cons. About using a small or larger disc? Cheers. Ooooh, I liked that reverse roll, you did on the toms. Very nice
Bro if possible please make a video on Midi connectivity. *Any Sampling Pad or Octapad to Electronic Drum kit (Alesis or Roland) Midi Connectivity .Did we can play Loops on Electronics Drum kit by using Sampler midi connectivity
HI friend! I actually have a course that goes into huge depth regarding the exact topic you're looking to learn more about! Here's a link to a sale coupon of it! www.udemy.com/course/the-hybrid-drummer/?couponCode=D3803145986B2AA069B6
Thank you for this video. I really appreciate when someone breaks it down the simplest form, because I honestly need that hands on show me every step of the way. Most videos just say then soder it.... and that's it no pictures or video just assume you know exactly how to do it
You can but it essentially reduces the voltage when you wire them up in parallel, you wire them in series but that would come out crazy hot and might pick up high frequency vibrations less effectively and it would be more likely to trigger more than once per hit on your cajon if I had to guess. I would recommend one piezo per contact pair. Some inputs might take a trs (2 peiezos wired isolated) The more vibratious the medium you attach this to, the more dampening you need under the piezo to “shut down” the physical energy transfer of attack
Thank you for the video, it's brilliant! I made it myself and it decently works. However, since triggered a ride cymbal, I was wondering if there's anyway to get the bell sound out of it: right now the bell sounds triggers if I hit with a certain force (not by zone); I'm using a Roland TD-3 module and, as per instruction manual, there is nothing related to this. The only way I can think about is placing the trigger close to the bell so that when i hit there the stroke is naturally stronger (and obviously adjusting velocity settings); however (and I don't know if this is a problem of the specific trigger I use or the fact that I'm using a low-volume cymbal, i.e. full of holes), the trigger reacts only if I hit the cymbal not too far from it, so placing the it next to the bell would be a little bit unpractical. Also I taped the trigger on the bottom of the cymbal (for aesthetic reasons), does it make a difference to tape it on the top? Thank you!!
Hey there! Yes they'll work for your kick. Might need to experiment with placement to get the sensitivity right. They should work for anything you can hit really!
Thx for this Video man, now I don't have to buy expensive Pads for my Alesis Nitro Mesh. 💖💖💖 I have a question? Can I turn a practice pad into a Tom/Snare Pad? 😅
You'll have to go into your module settings and adjust the trigger sensitivity of the piezo, I'm not sure on your module so I can't help with the specifics though
HOW is this video not more popular? You just saved me like a thousand dollars hahaha. Thank you so much!!
haha that's brilliant! I'm glad I could help!
I genuinely want to amke an edrum out of tin cans and ice cream jugs. Like that would be sick

You seem to know about e drums, can a faulty piezoelectric damage the e drum module?

can I put that in a audio interface and use software like slate trigger to trigger a snare sound from ez drummer?

I just realized I don't have a soldering iron💀
But I'm thinking how am I supposed to make the hi hats? Is it just the same thing?

Also goated video bro. It's verys straight forward
Thanks. Are there any ways to connect this to PC?

You know those cheap plastic china toys where if your press the dolls stomach it'll speak? Those things also have piezos inside them
How are you avoiding hysteresis without Schottky diodes? Or is it not velocity sensitive?

Ok Brother
"I will not." That made me laugh out loud. 🤣
Thank you for this video. I really appreciate when someone breaks it down the simplest form, because I honestly need that hands on show me every step of the way. Most videos just say then soder it.... and that's it no pictures or video just assume you know exactly how to do it
Nice vid man, btw, can you do it with a stereo jack input too? or it has to be mono?
please answer I want to make for a cajon, can 3 transducers be combined directly on 1 cable, can all three work?
You can but it essentially reduces the voltage when you wire them up in parallel, you wire them in series but that would come out crazy hot and might pick up high frequency vibrations less effectively and it would be more likely to trigger more than once per hit on your cajon if I had to guess.

The more vibratious the medium you attach this to, the more dampening you need under the piezo to “shut down” the physical energy transfer of attack
Hi Rohan.. new subscriber here. Could you maybe do a video using these on a complete acoustic drum set? thanks :o)
From aberdeen or close mate ? Ive just ripped 2 triggers out of my e-kit and fitting them under my double pedals for playing metal . Good vid
Sorry mate for the slow reply, didn't see this comment! I'm from fife/edinburgh way :) Glad you enjoyed the vid!
Hey mate, do you have any pics or vids? I'm trying to make a diy bass drum pad...
once calibrated, does the module pick the different intensity if you hit the cymbal with more energy than not?
Yes there will be velocity curves
@@TheRozzaB interesting. What if you choke the cymbal? Does the piezo measure less vibrations and the module reacts to that?
No
Hey man got a question 😄
Will I be able to use the Piezo trigger through my Roland spd sx trigger?
Hey! Yes it should work. You'll just need to adjust the trigger settings I imagine :)
Thanks man. I'll get a piezo and get on it asap
@@Yukichu awesome! I'd also reinforce the connections you make with either heat shrink wrap or electric tape too! Happy drumming
@@TheRozzaB Hey, did you ever try it, did it work ? I want to use it with the spd-sx too!
Is there a risk of electric shock?
There shouldn't be, no. There's only small impulses coming from the piezo (y)
The fill at 2:48 is tasty. Great video!
Thanks for the video. It's very cool how you have the left foot working for the open and close sounds. How'd you manage that one?
What if you are doing triple or more triggers for your head? how to you wire them?
You seem to know about e drums, can a faulty piezoelectric damage the e drum module?
Can you do it for a kick drum?
Hello mate. Can you please write the name of the Electronic components please?
They're just piezo pickups, a jack input and some wires :)

Experiment with a trs jack, another piezo most of the multi zone pads have more than one piezo
Can I do the trigger with a stereo jack input too? or it has to be mono?
The piezo pick up i saw it in microwaves used as speaker y can find one for sure
Piezos are used everywhere, very cheap and very easy to find indeed :)
Can we connect this same process to roland spd 20 kick pedal?
So I’d like to make a DIY trigger for my Roland HPD10. Are the electronics the same?
Hey dude, great video, I got a question, can I put those triggers in my kick drum?
Hey there! Yes they'll work for your kick. Might need to experiment with placement to get the sensitivity right. They should work for anything you can hit really!
@@TheRozzaB Thank you very much for your answer dude!!! I got one more question, can I connect the trigger to my octapad kick trigger input? Thanks
Can I hook one of these up to a bass drum?
Yeah you can!
Can I mount the piezo on the bottom?
I don't see why not :)
Its that the mono jack input,or stereo?
I think this was mono mate 👍
Great video brother 👍
Were we get that 2 materials?
ebay
this may be a stupid question: is there any difference between a 1/4" input jack and a 1/4" output jack?
No, stupid questions, same physical jack
Thx for this Video man, now I don't have to buy expensive Pads for my Alesis Nitro Mesh. 💖💖💖
I have a question?
Can I turn a practice pad into a Tom/Snare Pad? 😅
ooooh maybe? It might not be as responsive but It might be a good experiment!
I installed the piezo on my cymbal but it’s too sensitive and every hit on my drums triggers the piezo any ideas how to fix it?
You'll have to go into your module settings and adjust the trigger sensitivity of the piezo, I'm not sure on your module so I can't help with the specifics though
@@TheRozzaB ok thanks
thanks for the video. I love BG's book in the back
No problem man! Haha yes dude he has a permanent spot there pretty much!
