I have been thinking about making an electric bass drum, but i was wondering how natural it would feel?
-
That completely depends on what type of trigger/pad you make.
i've used a Remo practice pad and converted it. i've taken the head off and made a mesh one (left the padding in) its not the same as my acoustic but then its an electric kit not an acoustic kit. -
It also depends on what your idea of natural is. There are a lot of different bass drums, bass drum pedals, bass drum heads all tuned differently and they all feel different to play. I made a 13'' mesh head kick, it certainly has more bounce than an acoustic drum but over time I have become very used to the feel of it. Theres a lot of good info here on building drum pads and the kick is a good project to start with as they are the easiest and you will learn a lot about how Edrums work...Comment
