QuoteThis is my homemade electronic drum set. I call it the Coltronics Kit-e ("Kitty"). I made this video to show how I put it all together in case you might be thinking about making your own electronic drum kit. I came up with my own design. It started with a piezoelectric transducer soldered to a couple of wires and connected to a quarter inch phone jack. By trial-and-error, it morphed into what youre seeing in this video.
Ive had it for a number of years but its held up well. Im pleased with its design. Its compact. It works well. It was relatively inexpensive to put together using materials that are fairly easy to obtain. So check out the video. I hope it gives you some ideas.

Very cool, I wish I could play drums so I would have an excuse to make this! I have used EZ Drummer for a couple of years and have been very happy with it. I have been able to create some very convincing drum tracks, very EZ to use and edit in my DAW, always there when I need it, and, it's not too loud. ;)
