My name is Brian and I am in the process of building an edrum kit from things I have around the house. I am going to be using a ALESIS surge module that I found on EBay for the controller. I have learned a lot from this forum and I hope to share my experiences with you. The only things I have purchased so far are the sensors, jacks, mesh and hardware. I am trying to make it look decent and functional. I am using oak plywood and the top of a five gallon bucket for the drums. Thanks for your help.
I attached a photo of a typical drum setup.
