I just found a page with "MARCHELLO" electronic drums on it. Anybody ever heard of these or used them?

Price is right if you live in Australia. Aluminum shells. Standard heads. Reviews are a bit dated (1992). I wander if they are still around?

You know, just about anyone can do this if they are so inclined. Here's a link to raw shells, hardware etc.....All you'd need to do is hok up some piezo's, can't be that hard. http://www.drummaker.com/

Inclined is the word. People are shelling out $300+ for a 12" pressed paper drum from Roland, I did it once myself. If everone knew just how simple this stuff is. I went into Guitar Center one day planning on buying a couple more Roland pads and walked out with an acoustic kit and saved money.

Then again, some just want turn key systems. I can understand. I had a 1971 Z28 Camaro (LT1 solid lift) and a 1969 Harley Sportster 900, I don't anymore. Too much work not enough time.

I remember a couple of years ago, I added up all the parts based on Precision maple shells and parts , how much it would cost to make a real head pad kit. This with real 8 ply maple shells, around $450 for everything, 4 piece kit. Do you have a source for piezo's, thanks. Jim.

Try All Electronics. They used to have them with long leads attatched, no more. They have one part #PE-33, they are a buck a piece and have no leads. Havent tried this one though. I finally learned how to solder one confidently without screwing it up.

Thank you very much, all I've been able to find on my own are sources for 5,000 units at a time. Thanks again.

All Electronics is great. I used to get piezos from them all the time.

The Marchello drums look pretty trick! I like the aluminum shells... They look like Pearl R/T's....deceiving. Wonder how it plays....
