They were on clearance as blemished items, but I couldn't find much wrong with them. The holes on a couple seemed like maybe they were a little ragged, and ... http://www.diy-edrums.com/?p=22 [photopress:roland_fd6.jpg,thumb,alignleft]In my last post I mentioned I was investing some more into my set. The weakest link in my kit to date was the hi hat contoller. I was using continuous controller/volume pedal, which worked, but it was backwards (down was open and vice versa) and not spring ... http://www.diy-edrums.com/?p=20 [photopress:gamer.jpg,thumb,alignleft]Well, some birthday money, and a need to use my own kit at church on a rather regular basis, has prompted me to put some more money into my DIY eKit. Maybe you know how it is; you get on Musician's Friend to buy some strings or a pair ... http://www.diy-edrums.com/?p=19 [photopress:Kit_2.jpg,thumb,alignleft]I've been going nuts converting my remo kit to an edrum kit.

On what I'm guess were intended to be the toms, the previous owner had drilled out and/or removed a lot of the plastic ... http://www.diy-edrums.com/?p=15 [photopress:removersatilic.jpg,thumb,alignleft]Well, this certainly didn't fit in with my stated goals, but I couldn't pass it up. I was on Craigslist and saw an ad for a Remo Versatilic practice pad kit for $50. I knew it was a good deal, but a little research told me that it ... http://www.diy-edrums.com/?p=9 [photopress:kick_pedal.jpg,thumb,alignleft]It's been pretty slow going with the edrums, but Santa was good to me this year. My Musicians Friend wish list had a few things related to the build and made it very simple for people to get me exactly what I wanted. I got a kick pedal, ... http://www.diy-edrums.com/?p=7 [photopress:DSCN6237.JPG,thumb,alignleft]I got a little caught up in the moment, as one can have a tendency on eBay, and purchased a Roland TD-7 Turbo module. I got for a pretty fair price, about $170, and it came with a rack mount tray and all the manuals. I was hoping ... http://www.diy-edrums.com/?p=8 Welcome to my site dedicated cataloging to the progress of my DIY electronic drum set.
