***Disclaimer: The drum just sounds kinda dull when the video is played on equipment with small speakers or when using headphones. To hear the lows the drum puts out you will need some power and big enough speakers to move some air. The lows can be pretty intense through big stereo speakers with a subwoofer.***
This started out as a project to mic the suitcase kick drum I’ve been fooling with. I put a piezo disk in the suitcase and then a small speaker, but neither worked very well. An Internet search showed how to build something called a subkick, so based on that I hooked this old speaker up to my amp and set it about six inches from the suitcase to act as a microphone. It worked pretty well so I ran it through a Danelectro Fish and Chips EQ and tuned it in even more. Then I decided to try hitting the speaker with the drum pedal. This may be just what I’ve been looking for.

Thank you John. I appreciate your support!
Hi Mike.
That's the best looking junk pile I have seen in a long while. Very nice playing.
Sorry Wes - missed you on the last post! Thanks, and I agree about needing another pedal. I want an OCD awful bad...
Thanks Slowpaw! Ha! Ain't nothing wrong with that. That Brickdust sure has a nice haircut.
Thanks Kid!
Thanks Bug! Curious about your setup. Shoot me some pix if you don't mind.
Thanks James! I sure appreciate your kind words. Maybe I can sell some blood to raise money for the Orange. I'm in love with it fer sure.
the drum sounds great !!! but more importantly, yer playing that lap steel better than that music store owner, and i was really getting into that tune then it stopped ! damn-it, and where's the orange amp?
Hey looks cool.... I have something similar Mr Beat... Great sound
excellent 5 stars
I could add a small onboard buffer and preamp to them so they wouldn't feed back. Hmmm.... Back to the basement
You could put disk piezos in wooden clogs and stomp about...
