The early kick drums were made from wood. Back in the day big band sounds were really popular and room for 4 or 5 drummers was not possible. They needed a way to save space and the drum pedal way the answer. Now drum pedals are made from metal. I have some friends who are drummers and they have broken the metal ones kicking too hard. The wooden drum pedal I designed is for someone sitting on a suit case or cajon and stepping with their heal.

Start by downloading my hand-written parts PDF and then follow the photos/captions below.

Tremolos of all types tend to make some noise unless they get some lube, so nothing new there. Haha

How many pickups are in that git anyway?

lol, I know it looks like 10 pickups ,  . but there's actually only 6  (4 humbuckers and 2 singles.)   ps ... i lost 10 years off my life , half a head of hair  , and 13 pounds  wiring the friggan thing .   lol.

This is subzero cool Rose! Very clever indeed.

Thanks

cool project Rose kickers and stomp boxes are right at home here!

Thank you. I like the name kickers it fits A wooden pedal best I think!

this is cool i'm going to make this for the e-drums i'm working on thank you for sharing

Sure thing!! Hey that stand up bass you made for the contest was freeekin cool. I have a large army trunk that might make a good bass. If I need help on the measurements for the scale and bridge I might message you if that's ok? Really I loved your entry.

yeah sure no problem

thanks it was a lot of fun

OK I'm a little lost on getting dimensions and plans out of FreeCAD right now.

I'm posting what I have, this was using the AppImage version 0.16 of FreeCAD https://www.freecadweb.org

I think it'd be better if I had access to the dimensioning workbench before trying to make up the printouts.. Its not part of this AppImage and I don't have better access to the newer versions right now..

Harold that looks great!!!!!! I need to learn how to do this!! Genius sir

FreeCad is free open source and I have found it to be plenty workable, its been around a while so there are videos on youtube... Is how I learned it ( although I am familiar with the Blender 3D modeler and various art programs already.. inkscape, ilustrator, photoshop, GIMP, MagicaVoxel ... I'm a media design geek stuck working support desk :-D )

But still - getting it to spit out something like a blue print is a little beyond my ken right now, but if you download FreeCAD and pull up the file you can get all the measurements and such.

Especially kickdrum.fcstd, which has the parts laid out flat...
