So, what are these pads that you have here and where did they come from?

[airflamesred]

Koby pads from Liverpool. On the rubber side 4" and 6" diameter. Colin does mesh heads and cymbals as well.

we want more!!!!that indeed looks solid.
What about the inside part?How are you triggering them?


keep up the good work!

[airflamesred]

How are you triggering them? I would have thought thats fairly clear. Great pads, work well with MD. Maybe on the small side for most, but take a look at your 12" pads/drums and see from the stick marks how much room you need.
Pads should arrive soon and pics/vid to follow.

After much adjustment, and I mean lots, I have finally got this pedal working to my satisfaction. I think its a muscle thing! Out of the box this pedal isn't up to much but the mods, particularly with the stability bar make this quite a useful bit of kit.

No pads as yet so no real update - just thought I'd ramble about something.

[airflamesred]

The majority of pads have arrived and I'm now testing cross talk for the clusters. The first metal version had all kinds of issues so I am trying this 10mm perspex. It seems fine.
Because of the logistics of trying to mount so many pads I am going to have to run two bars across the rack to hold the various clusters

[airflamesred]

Perspex cut and drilled. These parts will be attached to a square tubular frame

[airflamesred]

I did toy with the idea of using perspex to construct the frame but frankly it looked a bit 'girlie' and the cost of jet cutting parts wasn't competitive with stainless steel.

Phase 1 finished

Just in time for winter
