I had the idea to make a “practice pad” out of my old #bassdrum
I always practice on the #edrum but the rebound of the mesh head just isn’t the same. I’m used to it, however it would be nice to have a more realistic feel.

So I grabbed my old bassdrum, put a drumhead on it and as much stuff I was able to find in the drum itself.

The feel is there. But also the volume. It’s still freakin loud 🫣

I could make a bassdrum out of a floor tom, but it would be an extra cost due to the special rim to clamp the pedal on it.

(Yeah, cable management on the ekit is not the best 😅)

I had a project I wanted to try to do last year but I’m finally working on it now. I have a Pork Pie acoustic snare (https://porkpiedrums.com/prod/7x13-vented-little-squealer-snare-black-hardware/) some years before I went Roland #edrums. The project is to convert it to an #edrum.

First attempt a fail and here’s why:
