[LAU] Off topic: building drum triggers for acoustic drums !

[Svend-Erik K Madsen]

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 :)
