    I genuinely believe that this guy is a British time traveler from the 80's that spent years in the underground circuit in Berlin and West Germany.

    I love how this dude perfectly captures the post-punk fashion and attitude, even though he’s quite young. Props.

    Kraftwerk did something similar in the early 1970s. Love the overalls by the way :-)

    Excellent, I'll be using this in the future. Just built the Arduinoboy too, still waiting for my Everdrive cart to arrive. Keep it up! you've done a lot to start me down the DIY synth path and I'm having a great time.

    What about taking a toy drum machine with piezo pads? Could you just cut the wires going to the piezo and solder them to a 1/8" jack and trigger it with an external sound like an individual out from a drum machine?
    Do I have to match the voltage of the piezo in order to bypass the pads and trigger them with an external source?
    Great video btw.

      could do yeah! might be worth going after when the piezo gets amplified!

      Don't you need to put a cap on the piezo element to debounce it? Just a heads up.

    Giving serious consideration to retrofitting some bigger external pads on my old DD-65.... Know I'll have to use piezoelectric as opposed to a switch.
    Having said that, the peizo only work by the fact they make a small voltage when hit, if there was a small burst of power created by a battery capacitor combination.... Wonder if piezo could be "emulated"... Hmm.
    Still easier to aim for the piezo route in my case I think...
    Still giving ideas, so... The video worked 😊

    It is better to add at least a single resistor. A few kOhms to a few tens of kOhms should be right. This way it will put much less stress on the batteries when the stick comes in contact with the main surface so you can reuse them after the thing falls apart.

    I can't believe that the "major" electronic drum video bloggers have not seen this video yet. Making electronic drums actually looks easier than making acoustic ones ...

      Well actual edrums can be used with normal drumsticks.

      You can make this with arduino pro micro and you can use it for midi.

      Piezo crystals generate a voltage based on how hard they're hit, you get them in round pads with 2 wires coming off em and they're cheap as Chips. Could amplify it to get a CV level signal out?

      ant eater just FYI, American tinfoil is WAY thicker and more durable than anything I’ve seen in Europe, so probably a better way to go for these projects in general, especially for something like this drum pad if we’re gonna be beating the crap out of it! :D

      The drum just creates trigger pulses for his synthesizer. It doesn't really create the sounds we hear.
