I made a DIY foot pedal from ply with springs / leather flap (it's amazing how much leather you get out of an old sofa :-)). Eventually I will make a video on how to construct. I placed a piezoelectric disk at contact surface and wired into 1/4" jack them run that into drum brain. No physical drum head. Alas I am no drummer - just got an DM5 kit for mid life crisis 10 years ago - liked it so much i got another brain module then started making own -drums. Need to make more time to practice - for sure drumming is a highly underated skill. much harder than it looks / sounds. Love your channel - you are one very creative dude. Great stuff.
@@demonicsweaters I recall I mentioned it here - 1:35 in ruclips.net/video/gTTCw3GH90g/видео.html I will make some time to make a better video just on the kick drum pedal - I need to look up where and give credit where it is due regarding the pedal design. Instead of make / break use some rubber / foam / piezo - experiment with thickness and trigger sensitivity. Not quite sure how to get the feel of a real drum pedal but to be fair one can get an ordinary pedal and hook up the piezo in appropriate place. Maybe build a ply / foam wall and out piezoelectric disc there?
The NE-10's are ridiculously expensive, but the NE-1's are even worse. One rubber foot, yes one, is $43.99 right now. So two noise eaters and the 5 rubber feet for a single bass and hi hat is nearly $550. If you're going to go this route, it would be better to make two pieces of mdf for the hi hat and kick drum, calculate the weight, and buy the appropriate amount of sylomer. Or do this...
Happy Thanksgiving!🦃 My cat knocked my drink over and ruined my drawing so I won’t be entering the contest. I received my midi to usb cable yesterday so I now have a lot to learn about DAWS and VSTs.
Yeah I like the bravery of using a razor knife on a drum throne ...........I don't think I could pull that one off ! I'd have to resort to another hard surface somewhere out there.....Nice vid nice idea.
Why don't people just use pieces from a foam mat like the ones for doing exercises on or the one we're sleeping in a tent on? There are many kinds of foam, and thiknesses. Mount a piece under the kick pedal or cut disks and glue them from place on the pedal just as the tennis balls. Why not that?
Foam doesn't work so well because of it being dense and having a lot of contact surface. Tennis balls seem to be the best because of the air, or the fact there's much less surface contact since they are hollow. Many people have tried the foam approach and all say the same thing that it doesn't work.
@@demonicsweaters That makes sense and thought of that when I mentioned about some foam disks so same principle as bals. Something soft here and there, lots of air between...maybe only testing we will find out.. Thanks!
@@Seneslau07 the thing is, even if they're disks, you're still getting more surface contact than tennis balls cut in half. Since with the balls, you're basically only getting a thin circle on one side, and a small point of contact on the other side.
did you find that those smaller sized tennis balls absorbed more vibration that the standard size ones (like you placed under that hi hat stand)? the smaller ones do have a shorter profile, and i wonder if using more of these work better to dissipate the vibrations.
Very good and helpful video again!
Thanks, man!
P.S: I bought the Roland RDH-102 double pedal recently and I'm very happy with it!
🤘😍🥁
How did you like the Roland pedal?
Would you use it for acoustic drums?
I swore your glue gun was a banana when you first held it up!
I oddly thought that too when editing, haha
You keep coming in with these videos right on time!!! :3 thank you!!!!

That sounds really interesting! And thank you!

Thanks, I’m on board with saving money! Have a great day! ☕️ Drinking some coffee with you.

haha, oh well
You could try putting some weight in the bass drum, maybe stuff it full of weighted blankets or something to stop the swaying.
Yeah thats true, good idea!
Good! Now beaters that would take the noise (somewhat) out of the bass drum pad.

Can I make a hole in the pet tennis ball and put it on my kick drum beater?
putting it over an existing beater probably wouldn't work, but if you had just the beater shaft, you might be able to make something.

they both seem to work equally well, but I prefer the smaller ones because they're less bouncy.
@@demonicsweaters Thank you, that’s really helpful. They seem to have multiple benefits then.
I dunno if hot glue will hold very long
it held since making this video no probs
@@demonicsweaters cool thanks for letting me know!
400 dollars???!?!?!?! guess it's 350 for the hardware and 50 for the dampening xD
Jep - I paid 290€ for the RDH-102.
No more nitro?
I know, where are we going to get our sweet Nitro custom kits now? 🤔
@@coopertrooper8256 No, I meant he had a nitro the last time i seen one of his videos. The Nitros are still out there. Black Friday deals are here.😊👍
