Hi folks. I've been drumming for decades. A few days ago, I had my first gig using a completely electronic setup and my DM10X Pro with the 682Drums mesh head conversion. I played the kit hard for about 2 years before I finally took it out.
Well, the gig was a disaster, mainly because my kick stopped triggering. I rigged it to get it to work and made it through the night. When I finally got around to inspecting it, I found that the piezo trigger element was smashed.
I have pretty quick feet with the double pedal, so triggering the kick drum has always been an issue. So I started thinking. What if I replaced the single, center mounted piezo element with two piezo elements, off-center, so they are closer to where the beaters strike the head. Has anyone ever tried this? Is it possible? Can I run them to a single output, or should I run them to two, separate outputs?
