I was looking for a solution to double triggering issues I have on my ekit's pad and ended up going down a rabbit hole of these pedal mounted triggers. I am seriously such a noob when it comes to this stuff so excuse me if these questions sound really stupid lol. But does it matter which face the trigger is on the foam (meaning like heads or tails on a coin)? And is that a thin piece of foam you used on top of the trigger piece for protection? Also it's been a few weeks since you uploaded this, how are they holding up? Thanks!
Hey what's up man! They're still holding up, I probably put about an hour and a half each day on them and there still triggering well. I'm not touring with them or anything crazy. From a triggering perspective, It doesn't matter which side of the piezo faces up, as long as you protect the white ceramic part (it's covered and protected in the pintech version I used). And yes the thin black piece of foam is just extra protection so I'm not hitting the plastic trigger directly. I'm playing with a couple more designs as well, I'll have a video up probably in the next week or so. Let me know how your build goes!
Hi, I want to convert my acoustic drum kit, I saw your video and I have some questions. Can I use any piezoeletric transducer and it should still good working? What type of drums do you have. Do you converted acoustic drums? If so, what type of triggers do you use? I want to buy some piezoeletric transducers and try to make my own triggers, but i don't know abou the differences between piezoeletric transducers and if there are what should I do? I'm waiting for the next part of video and Thanks!
Hi there! Yeah any of piezo should work, bigger ones may be slightly more sensitive, I use 20mm. This kit is a donner acrylic kit, but I also have a jobeky custom electronic kit - those are converted acoustic drums. Most triggers are built the same or similar, but you can easily make your own (piezo, foam and an angle bracket), tons of videos on RUclips that can walk you through the process. Ill try do a quick video of how I do it next.
Hey! I live in China, and you can buy EVERYTHING here, but not this type of contact pedal triggers. Thanks a lot for your video! I've ordered materials to make it myself.
@@ArgonautDrums Hey, i did it, it works way too good, it should be illegal! I've posted couple of videos in instagram, and seems like so many people surprised that it's actually possible with cheap acousic contact mics. I got the biggest amount of views ever in my life for this haha, thanks a lot to you!
@@l_Knights_l Im running audio out from the tm2 to a ProFx16 mixing board, along with 9 drum mics. And then running out of the mixer to a pair of headphones for jamming 🤘
So good, now I have to make this for myself.
@@stormcastv dirt cheap and gets the job done 🤘

@@ArgonautDrums hell yeah dude thanks for the reply. I will, looking forward to trying this. I’ll keep an eye out for the next video, too \m/

@@mariegone7402 glad you found it helpful, good luck with the build! 🙂

@@mariegone7402 hell yeah! Glad it's working out for you 🤘
Lol its funny we have the same pedals and the bias rod upgrade from acd unlimited! What module are you using?
Pedal twins! Lol. In this video I was using the td17, but I've since sold it and I'm now using a tm-2.
@@ArgonautDrums nice! Do you you run it through a laptop or speaker or anything from the tm2? I'm new to triggers and sound equipment

Does it works with those piezoelectric microphones for acoustic guitars?
Like an acoustic guitar pickup piezo thing? I've never tried it with one, but itl probably work.
I'll do it and i'll tell you if It works 👍
@@usuario-nk6hq looking forward to the results!
Yo, It actually works pretty well but I still can't find how to put them below the pedals
Better than the footblasters I just bought probably tbh.
I'd hope their build quality is better than mine :) but same concept.
@@ArgonautDrums Your customer service is probably better than theirs LMAO
