2009 DIY electric drumkit



It took a few weekends to complete, but the new and improved DIY E-drums are done. Over the next couple of months I will probably up grade to a roland dual trigger mesh snare drum and a Yamaha dual trigger ride cymbal. The current setup sounds really good and even feels pretty solid when playing on it.

Alesis Trigger IO Drum module (USB powered drum brain)
MacBook Pro running BFD 2.0 (over 5 gigs of sampled percussion sounds)
DW practice pad drum kit converted to Electric drumset with Radio Shack 273-0073 sensors
2 Roland single trigger percussion pads
1 Yamaha Cymbal trigger
DW Bass drum pedal
Rockband2 bass drum pedal (works great as a hi-hat controller)

Thinking of doing the same with a "nord drum 2"-brain. Are there a lot of cross-talk between the pads when hitting them?
Thanks! -Calle
