Great article. A buddy and me made a similar kit using a PVC for the rack, and plywood and rubber for the pads. Played pretty darn good but certainly didn’t look as clean as this one. It’s amazing though how simple the pads really are, even my $5000 Roland V-drums are basically just these same piezo’s mounted behind a foam cone with the tip of the cone pushing against the back of the drumhead. The real magic here is in the brain, and in my opinion, nobody does it better than Roland when it comes to electronic drums.
