Roto toms?

[Silky7483]

Hey, has anyone ever converted a set of roto-toms to be an electronic tom or snare?

Whenever I see a roto-tom, I think, man...that looks lust like the inside of one of those expensive Roland pads. Just replace the head with a mesh one and mount the piezo and cone to that central part.

I'm sure someone has done this...I'd just like to know how it works.

Thanks all!

there really is not a lot more to it than that. Obviously you will want to make sure your soldering keeps your connections solid, but not much else is needed.

Here is an example of a roto-tom e-kit that someone made.

Note that the above picture is from electronicdrums.com, and full instructions for the conversion above are available there.
I couldnt give details here as I am legaly obligated not to (same as other members of electronicdrums.com).

Crud, the picture doesn't come through unless one is a member of electronicdrums.com - sorry about that fellas.

Nevertheless, it most certainly can be done.
