DIY mesh, Roland PD85 mesh and Rock Band pad sound test

[therocker33dc]

I had to turn up my volume REALLY loud to hear the DIY e drum

[tHickman95]

is the diy head as responsive as the roland?

ive got a pd85 and its pretty damn responsive. (like, velocity variety response i mean)

i was considering selling it and getting a pd105, but i might just make a one of those diy ones and keep the cash ;D or is i only really an option if your short of cash and need a drum NOW..?

i got a portible drum kit from gamestop for like $30 i might make a vid for it, even though one of the sticks i got was shit and snapped the first day, but i had an extra so its all good.

the pads do slide so i taped them to my regular rock band kit, which has had some recent malfunctions, and play off of that. all i need is a good splitter, any kind that works, and then i'll be rockin. the portable kit has sticks with better rebound action and the pads are quiter than the silencers

hows the rebound on the fiberglass screen compared to the roland mesh head?

[Joni0001984]

What is that wonderful DIY material you used? Is it durable and comparable in feel to the Rolands?

[mikejl47]

I used 2 layers of Fiberglass screen and a top layer of superscreen. I'm not sure how long it will last. I have been using the superscreen for 4 months now and still looks like new. Feels just as good as a Roland mesh head.

rock band pads are a joke. Long live DIY eDrums!
