New Project

For fun I thought I’d give a little glimpse of something I’m working on. I’m kind of tired of all the electronic drum stuff i’ve been using lately and wanted to design my own. Here is a little glimpse at the prototype for the trigger pad. This has four switches inside and a piezo element (what your hearing is an old alesis D4 module using the piezo). I want to be able to layer multiple circuit bent toy sounds (via the switches) and circuit bent drum modules (via the piezo).

  1. im curious to see how this is coming. hopefully its not an unfinished project thats moved to the back corner of the worktable. that happens to me too often.
    i saw the photos of the preamp kit. maybe that was all jack, i dont know. very cool though! merry christmas, bwack. 🙂

  2. Hey Bwack! This is awesome! You are seriously one of the best drummers out there! you’ve influenced me a lot! Now, I got a dilemma.
    I need to play a timpani in one of my bands new songs, but the problem is, I don’t want to go out and buy timpani (they cost way to much, and they are huge) Do you have any ideas on how I could rig up a trigger device to make like and electronic timpani??? let me know if you have any ideas! I would greatly appreciate it!
