<p>I've been looking around for something to make my ever-tapping foot do something useful and I need some opinions on the best option. Inan ideal world, I would probably use a kick drum, but I don't own one and I don't intend to buy one unless I need to.</p>
<p>I've seen several people recomending different things:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Stompbox and bass amp</p>
<p>Kick pedal and hardback suitcase</p>
<p>Kick pedal and cajon</p>
<p>Any of these worth looking into? Or perhaps you know something else…</p>

<p>After listening to many such critters on you tube and the Logarhythm I have, I have come to the conclusion that most if not all have the same problem. Without added "special effects", they do not sound like basses to me but a foot tapping a hard piece of wood. So, here's my question for you percussion "Experts". My idea is to place piezo pickups, likely the jacks that come with 3 disc, on a thinner "soundboard" a certain distance below the thicker top that the food stomps on. Just my…</p>

My idea is to place piezo pickups, likely the jacks that come with 3 disc, on a thinner "soundboard" a certain distance below the thicker top that the food stomps on. Just my theory, but I wonder if I'm on to something and wonder how far below the top it would need to go? wouldn't really need any bracing but left to vibrate freely like a guitar top. Would it be based on cubic square inches/feet? I'm thinking 2" minimum, but then I'm no acoustics expert. Bottom open? closed? Small sound holes either above or below the soundboard? I'm thinking 4" total thickness max? 1 1/2" rubber feet on braced corners?</p> Stomp box againtag:www.cigarboxnation.com,2015-09-16:2592684:Topic:23933492015-09-16T02:23:41.521Zpetey twofingerhttps://www.cigarboxnation.com/profile/peteytwofinger
<p>So I made this stomp box.I used hard wood on the edges and ply for the top and bottom. I wired two small speakers to the bottom with a 1/4 inch jack out the back. It sounded awful. I packed with bubble wrap.then a old t- shirt,then a mix of things it sounded awful. I placed it on the shelf and gave it a good rest.

I cut out a foot pedal.I drilled a hole and fitted the rubber stopper in the hole. I mounted the pedal on the box. At last I have the bass I wanted. It even works on my GT-5 Peavy amp ( 9 volts).</p>

<p>I spent the day yesterday and most of today in my shop.I had about 4 projects going at the same time.My stomp box was one of them and I got it done or so I thought. I used two small speakers for my pick up and they work as expected. The problem is that it sounds like hitting the floor with a small stick.No bass anywhere.Do I need to put something in the box or cover it with something? I read post both ways.</p>
<p>thank you.</p>

<p>I have been busy setting up a drum and percussion unit to use live and on videos, many CBG players seem to be adopting the bass drum/jingle arrangement which adds a lot more impact than a floor box stomper which i tried but was never happy with the results...anybody interested in a wine box with an Alabama plate screwed onto it ? could make a good guitar from it, another winter project i 'spose...</p>

<p>A battered old Stratford Besson 20"x13" Bass drum, its shell stripped, stained and satin varnished, added new hoops and Aquarian batter head and now ready for action! An old Premier hihat stand mounted with a Rhythm Tech jingle ring, and my rhythm section is complete! Total cost around 140 pounds; already had the Mapex stool and pedals, 50 for the bass drum, 40 for the new hoops, 20 for the new batter head, an Aquarian Super Kick1, 25 for the jingle ring, 5 pounds for the hihat stand, already had the varnish and stain, i sliced up an old rubber brake pipe to use as dampers on the jingles as they jingled around too much and are now better controlled, the elastic bands worked ok as a temporary measure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Used the tom mount on the top of the bass drum for a suitably adapted music stand, i'm useless at remembering my lyrics..!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have a set of 4 mics, including a drum mic, to use for recording into a mixer ; vocals, guitar amp, bass drum and jingle ring, will post a video when all is complete, suggestions or comments appreciated! (-:</p>

Anyone know if I can mod the bike horn on my washboard to only sound on the squeeze, instead of on squeeze and release?<br />
Thanks
