I would like to try the mesh conversion, perhaps on a second hand pad from ebay first to use as snare.
Question on the video: If the piezo element is moved further away from the playing surface, does the sensitivity need to be increased? If so, I've noticed that with the standard factory setup, other loud noises in the room (Marshall 4x12 & 100w headunit) seem to just trigger some of the pads. Will increasing the sensitivity accentuate this?
Also, it looks like the resonator plate is held on by little strips of tape. With the original setup the plate (and tape) are against foam. With the mod and the ring cut out of the foam, it hangs free. With repeated hits, are these little bits of tape likely to come loose and the resonator plate fall away?
Or am I worrying about nothing?
?
