Very nicely done.

Nice job! I'm happy with my TD-9KX, but those looks of an acoustic...

How do the converted Pintech cymbals compare to Roland's?

Hello all, I have just got to what I am calling "phase one" of my DIY edrum project (all single zones except for dual zone snare). I have gotten so much valuable info on here that I wanted to post some pics of where I am at.

My setup is a pacific chameleon kit that I used the crossbar method to mount the piezos, the difference being that instead of L brackets and u channel, I used something I found in Home Depot next to the junction boxes. It was a great find as they are adjustable in length for the different drums. I used pintech practice cymbals that have "pringled". For the Hi Hat, I used the slide potentiometer in a project box method. All the triggers run into a Td 10 which outputs MIDI to a Firewire 410 that connects to my laptop running ez drummer which goes back out of the 8 outputs of the firewire 410 and into the mixer.

Plans for "phase two" are multizone cymbals and drums and a 2 cymbal hi hat system and hopefully an upgrade to superior drummer 2. Thanks for all the info and I hope this can help someone else.

take a look at my pics and let me know what you think.

Looks good thekingofboggle. Wow, I didn't realize how much of a problem that pintech practice cymbals have with that "pringled" effect. I use converted pintech practice cymbals, but mine are from years ago. It looks I they are made thinner these days. I bet they are doing that to cut down on people converting them to eCymbals. Just a hunch. I look forward to phase two.

I think you have done an excellent job. In my eyes, it is really beautiful.
