based on designs by DrummerDan, JLee, and that one dude with the plans for a spring mounted bridge... tested with a millivolt meter and I get some kind of current, so I'm hoping it will trigger. Next step, off to see the Wiz about a brain.
Thanks Dan and Lee for all of your posts! This was actually pretty easy once I understood what to do. I built the whole thing in an afternoon, including two trips to Ace Hardware.
Next step is to replace the springs with a heavier dutier type, and to get some wire connecter crimp thingies.
You'll notice I had to gouge out the plies on the inside of this drum to mount the flush-mounted stereo jack... it wasn't long enough to thread the bolt on the outside. I was surprised to realize how thick the shells are on this old TAMA kit... so a lesson for me is to use thin shells!
anyway, i'll post more pics and words later, once i have the thing tested, triggering, and the other drums built. This will be a 4 piece kit mounted to regular stands... for now.
