Drum triggers - Acoustic/Electric conversion

[dafontenot]

I've got the Evans Sound-Off heads (dampening pads) to use on my kit while I'm playing at home. Do you think the triggers would work well if I snapped them onto the drum while the Evans Sound-Off pads are on there? Of course, I would have to cut a notch out of the pad in order to fit the triggers. Also, any suggestions for triggering cymbals?

thumbs up if you click onto another video soon as you hear there anoying voices

[TheGooch1972]

isnt part of the reason for electronic drums to be quiet dont make sense!

[RuXTaR]

and nice combination of stupid words.. learn some real vocab!!!

[RuXTaR]

yeah.. redo with no music in the background.. I wonder just how many people were able to watch the whole thing to the end

[hannes911]

If your video is speech based, I suggest leaving out music in the background. It's really difficult to understand what you're saying.

[seedlord1]

did you say the sound was'nt impoRtant

[iasm94]

lol at 7:00 when you cut the video looks like you are censoring the words

[vadikent]

still too loud acousticcly best is to use mesh or muffle heads i guess... what you guys think?

[Atern0x]

Meshuggah o.O

Woah, you've a good musical taste xD

But anyway, any drummer should listen to Haake. Very inspiring.

i did this to my snare do to excess vibration

[Nihongoking123]

The music in the background is friggin annoying.

[ToOlOGT22]

woudlnt it be easier to learn how to tune drums or at least buy an electric drum kit?

[vadikent]

@ToOlOGT22 electronic drums are too loud, my neighbours complained about the noise, i'm living in apartment

[semiLivedj]

lugs,their called lugs.

[Adriansmusiconline]

@semiLivedj Lugs attach to the shell. Tension rods attach the rim to the lug casing.

[MaYbYl8eR]

Bigass drum key.

[UKrocketeer]

@MaYbYl8eR high tension key

[fkBowdown]

you snatched the napkins from olive garden!!

[Kraxe6sic6]

why do you do fabric under the drumheads? i dont really get it?!

[vodoodragono1]

@Kraxe6sic6 dampen the sound, and to help the trigger not misfire.

[gajagus]

i wanna ask something what kind of material you user for this stuff is that simple cloth thing or cloth with plastic impregnation

[vodoodragono1]

@gajagus It's just a simple cloth like a bed sheet, any thin cloth would work. I just got a Ddrum4se kit with all mesh heads, works like a charm.

[lucyferina]

Very nice, but most people that do conversions like that are concerned about the noise level. the mesh heads are a lot quieter and if you don't want to make them yourself you can buy pre-made ones for any size drums. check the video for sound demonstration.
