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...

Heels work!!!
Mine with no shoes on ...I hasten to add
Think the rubber pads may need to go!

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.

Exactly,,,,,Steve you know about pads... the piezo is under a metal plate....how do I make them a bit more sensative...reduce the rubber?
