"Cone" Mod
« on: February 16, 2012, 12:38:33 PM »
Hey guys,

Been searching for a mod that'll make my DM10 pads the most silent, and I keep hearing of a Cone mod, similar to the Roland pads. Does anyone have any links to more information regarding it and/or how to do it? Also, is this actually the quietest conversion?

Thanks :)

Checkout the the DIY section, lots of pad mod's there. And some friendly discussion on which is "better" / "Quieter" ..etc Hellfire's plate method is stickied on top of the section...

evilcartman did a nice cone type to an alesis pad here: http://www.dmdrummer.com/index.php?topic=2449.0

...Hope it helps, Yankee

Haha, thanks very much for that! Feel like a bit of an idiot seeing as a DIY section was staring me right in the face :)

In the proccess of trying out Hellfires method, and tomorrow will try a cone one, see which on I prefer. Thanks again :)
