Hi list

Anyone who has build drum triggers themselves ?

I just ordered some piezo transducers to build my own triggers, but your experiences is most welcome regarding material used to encapsulate transducers, rubber, foam rubber, how thick the size, and so on.

I planned to build it up on some angel bracket inside the drum shell and mount it on a lug screw so that the trigger will be placed underneath the drumhead near the rim, don't know if thats good or bad, and if a rim shoot would trigger too, of cause I don't want that to happen on my snare, for which I plan to build a separate rim shoot trigger too.

Hope someone will share their experiences :)

Cedric Roux has already pasted the link, but I've done some stuff like this - I built a midi drum trigger that is capable of telling where you've hit it as well as how hard, so you can morph the sound between different spots on the pad. This uses 4 piezo sensors on an aluminium sheet. All the details of how I built it and the software to drive it are here:

If you have any questions, just ask.
