Ive decided to build an electric full size drum set instead of buying the $1300 one from yamaha...
my budget is set at $700 but ill probably have to bump it to $800
this is what im trying to make it look like
**broken link removed**
(note that thats not my set)
This will be my layout
**broken link removed**
added to that will be a double bass pedal setup
and hi-hat control
For the brain or computer of this setup, I have selected the DM5 drum module
https://alesis.com/products/dm5/
that part alone is aver $200
but you have to have it to have electric drums...
basicly im building what looks like regular drums but cutting them down to
4 inches tall and adding some piezo disks under foam cones and installing
mesh heads on the drums.
Im making lists for parts and prices now ut dont have anything
this is going to be a great learning project for me as i have never built a drum before much less a whole set
i havent even played an acostic set before
im making this full size set to replace my tiny Yamaha DD55 table top drum set, $300 new...Selling for $50 tops on ebay...
everyones getting these big kits now...
ill post some more updates here when i get some parts and start building.
