I made a 13" mesh head (single layer) from Pet Screen http://www.homedepot.com/p/New-York-...94-M/202091906.
Constructed a piezo trigger (radio shack $2.30), cone (made with sanding blocks - $4.00), and mounted to a crossbar (Simpson trust spacers - 2 bolted together $.92). The trigger is positioned off center about 3 inches. The Piezo is mounted with double sided tape on a wood base and screw pedestal.
Question:
- Using a Roland TD-3 module, Sensitivity/Volume is not great. Mesh tension is good. I then replaced the mesh head with a Pearl. Mesh is much thinner. Sensitivity/Volume is great.
So, should I be using a different mesh, like plain fiberglass mesh double layer?
I picked Pet mesh for durability. Just confused why I can't get the volume out of it.
