SNAP!

[FeeldahVibe001]

@Painkiller0039803 lol if you keep on pressing it it makes a nice beat x]

[wattoizgr8]

How did you find out all of that info ? That is so cool :) gr8 video

[gluke35]

It makes sense... except for the bass pedal, its magnetically triggered? how did you get the magnet part on there??

[gluke35]

NVM! I DIDNT WATCH THE WHOLE THING LOL

[knutake10]

0:25 hahahahah wtf is that its sow fucking funny

[jdawg00100]

0:25

WTF

[Powagoat]

Hehe. The throne I was sitting on ... settled a little bit. :) I guess my butt falling an inch was enough to shake the camera

[jdawg00100]

haha it sounded like a shotgun was fire behind the camera, caught me off guard.

but thats a real awesome mod you got there

[pballer225]

you have the drums laid out really unnaturally :/

[Powagoat]

They're set up to match the rock band drum setup

[pballer225]

no they aren't xD

[xxInSAniACxx]

THANKS! I'll put this info to use when i get a game system

[xxInSAniACxx]

Oh, I just got an idea! What if i used a REED Reel

[Powagoat]

Reed switch? Yah, that's what the bass drum uses. You need piezos for the rest of the drums because they operate with little voltage changes, not with a switch completing a circuit. Though I suppose you could do it if you supplied your own voltage. :)

[xxInSAniACxx]

did he hook the bass up the same as the rest of the drums

[Powagoat]

The bass drum is hooked up but it works differently than the drums. Instead of a piezo, I used a magnetic switch, the kind used doors in home security systems. The kick head has a magnet from a hard drive in it that activates the switch.

[TwentyEightDaysLater]

Yeah, you WOULD be playing Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

[stratocaster539]

Hi Dan, did you base your conversion of my Video?

Cheers

[Mush619]

It looks fun but not sure about how accurate the drum hitting would be

[guitarmaniac43]

ohh i forgot its a different type of piezo mostly used in acoustic guitars

[guitarmaniac43]

i am wiring a piezo into my guitar i need to put an on/off switch and finish wiring as with another pickup switch for magnetic pickups on/off

[S34n4s4ur]

I BURNED MY HOUSE DOWN DOING THIS,

>:(

[PlatinumZombii]

lol, he told you so...

[M15CY]

lol at about 0:26 i laughed because of the bang noise

[ps3geek182]

ye and he shit his pants

[dustfey]

its maps

[jian2069]

still loud as shit

[M15CY]

well lets see.

drums are loud.

rock band drums are a simulation. of real drums.

he combines real drums with the simulation. still hitting real drum pads so its bound to be loud.

its not a sound mod.

[jian2069]

i suggest mesh heads

[tarponsalltheway]

those are mesh heads.

[1riphraff1]

nah the music is on too. he was playing with them b4 and they were pretty quiet

[Serjtankian123455]

What song is that?

[GraffQueen2]

maps by the yeah yeahs or yeah yeah yeahs or something.

[Powagoat]

They're still perfectly good drums. I put Pearl muffle heads on them to silence them for rock band.

[jakeyhenderson11]

Dude,So you ruined a whole drum set for a video game. Or does it still make sound? Or what?

[HighDefinitionYT]

HAHA! 0m26s !

[Powagoat]

Hehe yeah I guess I hadn't fully set the pin in the throne. :)

[knorulss]

nice ...maybe ill try it...i modded my foot pedal by cutting a ordinary pair of headphones and soldering it to a momentary push button and then taped it to my drumstick so its easier for my foot

[xBtRxDethklok]

Dont tell me, you had the camera taped to the side of your head, when you showed how to do it!

[Powagoat]

Haha close! I used a little wired mini cam taped to my hat.

[xBtRxDethklok]

Nice. Very good video. Still though, I dont think I would sabotage a real set for this though.

[Malinator94]

looks like its not that sensitive

[Powagoat]

The sensitivity varies by drum. I end up whaling on them anyway when I play, so they're sensitive enough for me. :) Knowing what I know now I could make them better but they're plenty good enough for me

[D3NVR07]

I have the same thing but mine called and ion

[DritBIKER4]

how long did it take u

[Powagoat]

It took the better part of a weekend plus several extra hours while I messed around with getting the bass drum trigger right.  A lot of that time was figuring stuff out so I could it a lot faster now, probably in a day.

[sgallaty]

Dude you are such the man for doing this.

Grave kudos.

[w1104717]

you guys are dipshits for saying it's fake. There are a ton of people on youtube who have done this mod. You should've added cymbals.

[Powagoat]

Yeah, I've been thinking about it. I tried using a standard y-adapter with 2 drums and it they interfered with each other. I'm considering picking up a rock band 2 kit and adding cymbals that way.

[Kythorn]

Obvious fake

[LilReed17]

hahahah. you are an idiot kythorn..
