27mm or 35mm piezo's

[vjboc]

I have a Roland td 8 and DIY drums. All my drums have 27mm piezos. I been reading some of the posts about the 35mm piezos. Is 35's better than the 27's? What is the differance between the two, Other than size?
My drums work good now, But would they work better with the 35mm's?

Thanks in advance for your help

Roland uses 27mm for heads and 35mm for rim triggers, if that's any guide.

Is there a reason why Roland uses the 35 on the rim instead of the 27?

i use 35mm for both rim and head, they seem to work well enough

I tried 35mm and 27mm for the rim and the 35mm trigger much better!
i am going to remove the 27mm and replace them with 35mm.

Do you use 27mm or 35mm on the head trigger?

I used the $0.50/piece 40mm's from eBay on everything in my a-to-e. My only dislike is that they do not fit well into project boxes except the big honkin' Radio Shack ones. However, if you don't care what your cymbal underside looks like you can just leave them in the casings and run the wire into whatever project box you want. The box would only have to be big enough for the 1 or 2 jacks then.

35mm also for the head trigger with foam cones.
