First Test of homemade foot drums from a converted DD9 Yamaha off ebay..
This thing keeps you fit!!...
Maybe it need more sensative pads, as its as much effort as real drums!

Neat idea Bug. If you could get the sensitivity correct, I could see mounting 2 of them to be used in a heel-toe configuration like a stomp box. Lots of possibilities...

Comment by Diglydog on October 29, 2012 at 1:44pm Great experiment. Perhaps the problem is that the pad was designed to be hit by a drumstick (small area, high pressure) and you're using trainers (large area, lower pressure). If so, stomping your heels in a pair of these should do the trick :-)
Or you could just tape a couple of pebbles under the trainers. Probably easier to explain when Mrs Bug wanders in.

Comment by Slowpaw Steve T on October 29, 2012 at 3:02am looks like too much hard work bug, but a cool indoor exercise...! (-:
