DIY Ride bell

Here a short description of my DIY ride bell made from a 6 in practice pad. sorry if I seem at a loss of words or stuttering, I put this together as a last minute thing and tried to do it quick.

There is a part where I say "it is big" and what I meant by that was the threads on the bottom of the pad are big and only fit to the threads of the stock cymbal mounting arm.

Click here to see it action. This is a video of my younger brother doing a drum cover of the song playing in the background.

Nice fly - do you find the cased piezos are sensitive enough?I'm gonna try this anyway!

[flyboy3d]

ya for certain applications I'm finding that keeping the piezo in its housing is more sensitive. Like here for this application or when I need to replace a sensor on one of my cymbals.
