I picked up a used Gibraltar practice kick pad and after some thought, liberated the base plate to use with a 13" DIY drum - and now I have a new kick.
What I used:
13" tom, cut in half
DIY mesh head - fine irrigation pipe with two layers of insect mesh
Crossbar with 27mm piezo and a circular foam column, about the height of a Roland cone - mounted off-centre
Two bass drum spurs
A bit of curtain rod mounted on the Gib base plate through the original tom block
and it all seems to work...
Also thought I'd show off the latest e-cowbells. One is a pastic LP tone block, wrapped in gaffer tape to deaden the stick noise, the squarish one is a moist-towel container, also decked in gaffer tape. I'm now on my fourth generation. Tried paint-roller, sapling punnet and various canisters. The tone block is great because it comes with a mount, but it's very hard to work out where to drill for the jack - so mine has some extra ventilation!!! The next one will be perfect!!!
