Where can I buy 8" mesh/cone/piezos?

[Hieroxide]

Member BtnkBndt made his own acoustic-triggered modified kit... I was going to do the same thing, and was wondering... Where could I find the parts to do this myself?

V-Replacement heads for PD-80 aren't available through standard outlets (musiciansfriend.com, marsmusic.com, zzounds.com) - Anyone know where to find them? Musician's Friend doesn't have he 8", only the 10" and the 12". I can't find anyone else who even sells them.

Member sector7 said "PS: Rolands replacement cones and piezo sensors are still very cheap to buy, so why not use what the V-Drums series modules are designed to work with if your going to build your own."

I didnt know Roland sold replacement CONES and PIEZOS too! So where can I buy them?

TIA,

Any Roland V-drum dealer can order any Roland V-drum part.

If you donīt want to look to far for
a piezzo then buy one of those playing
congratulation cards.

The speaker IS a piezzo!

thanks guys

I've got the last five 8" heads from MusiciansFriend. The guy informed me that their website wasnt always updated to reflect inventory, but that the product was "discontinued." I thought that a bit odd. They and several other retailers I called, however, said, "Yes, any authorized Roland dealer can order those parts, but we don't." (Sweetwater, Mars, Etc.)
And Roland's crappy website seems configured to keep us out of their "guts" so to speak.

I have the piezos. I have assembled a midi drum brain PCB and have 8 disks. They aren't remote yet (on the board right now), but when I get the heads, I'll assemble em remotely.

I suppose I'll just use some cheesy foam stuff from Wallyworld or something instead of the "Roland cones."

Ahh the melodious sounds of singing into paper. Now I just need to decide which Hammerfall products I can run these into!

(Ever notice the new firewire racks... don't have MIDI? what gives)
