Hi guys, new to the forum, new to the e-drum world... this is more of a pieced-together project than a DYI as I didn't fabricated anything... What I wanted to achieve was a small foot print kit (2 to 3 stand max) that I can haul and set up with ease (stage presence is not a big deal to me).
CODE NAME: mini KRAKEN
Its based on the DW go anywhere smart kit practice and the ideas evolved from there... found that the DW base was wobbly so I used the base and 7/8” stem of a Pearl B-1000 that I had laying around (my main drums are now set on Yamaha Hex rack)
• I used multiples (8 in total) of the DWSP2072 clamps (7/8” to ½”)to hook the pads arms 7 on the main stand and 1 on HH stand to hold the DM10
• a Pearl Ax-38 to hook to Pearl cymbal holders (from B-1030 & B-1000)
• 4 or 5 aquarian onheads (currently sporting 2 X 10”, 2X12”) plus a 1X13” depending on configurations
• 1 Roland BT-1 to be used on rim shot
• I used a floor tom leg to hold the DM10
• Quite a few memory locks to secure the inboxes and actual positions
• 1 PDP B.O.A. HH with Giblatar clamp SC-Lrac (clamp to hold the floor leg tom and DM10) the L-rod to secure the BT-1
• 2X PDP B.O.A. pedals with Roland’s KD-7
• Gen16 HH, Crash, & Ride (13/16/18) (to be used with either capsule mic or Direct Source configurations)
so far I am very pleased how sturdy it has very little movement... I imagine you will want to know how the aquarian onhead are performing but since I am new to the e-drum I don't have much experience with other pads so I can't say much... I know the signal needs to be work on the DM10 (sensitivity and threshold but I haven't had much time to play yet) eventually I will post a video but it's time to play and it may take week before I get to it
