My kit is a Pearl Valencia circa 1960's modified/modernized and converted to be an electronic kit.

I replace a broken cajon pedal cable with a brake cable but found it a little more thick hence making the kick pedal a little more stiff but it worked!!!!!!!!!

Nice project. I have to add this to my project list.

[@TheAverageDrummer]

Thanks. I have to admit I don't use it that much. I keep meaning to make time to play it.

[@niteshades_promise]

cant beat engineering something for free.👍🏻🍻

[@TheAverageDrummer]

I know. That the best thing.

[@MichaelJohnsonProductions]

Dude this is pretty cool.

[@TheAverageDrummer]

johnsondrummer yeah it was fun to make. It was easier that I thought it was going to be. Fun to play too.

Duane Bailey Drumming heck ya man

[@moondewri7080]

awesome idea, thank you bro.

[@TheAverageDrummer]

no problem. I like making stuff from other bits I find.

[@julileo8300]

Thank for sharing...

[@babooll5632]

Meinl makes a direct pedal that is excellent. I picked one up on eBay for $40

[@TheAverageDrummer]

That's great to hear. Ebay is great if you have access to it in your country. I don't and this was made from bits I had laying around.

[@s.sullivan1016]

Dude. Nice

[@tvjer1]

Got some great ideas from that - thanks!

[@TheAverageDrummer]

Glad to hear it. Sorry for the late reply. How did you get on making yours?

[@EEZAL]

awesome ... full McGyver

[@leedrummer986]

Hey man great video! I made one very similar based off your design! I am happy with it but I’m finding the cable to be a little bit too stiff for the shorter double strokes, did you have this issue? Tried a few adjustments with the spring and the tension but it didn’t help just kind of made it more resistant

[@TheAverageDrummer]

No sorry I didn't. Perhaps taking the inner cable out of the sleeve and rub powered graphite on it. It may slide easier when put back together. Good luck.

[@florianinside5666]

How do you mount that small cymbal on top of the hi-hat-clutch? Looks good!

[@TheAverageDrummer]

I had a part of the original 1960's hardware that came with the kit that had a screw through the side that clamps to the rob when tightened.

[@ackerkartoffel8627]

couldnt you make the pedal shorter ?

[@jrdrumhead]

bro no se te rompe el cable , tengo un pedal para cajon dixon y el cable siempre se rompe , como lo puedo solucionar ??

[@hirokawiti4932]

How do you find the durability of these rigs, the cable mainly?

[@TheAverageDrummer]

To be honest,I haven't really used it much.

[@ukandeugoldpanningadvicean9921]

did he say Piddle?

[@TheAverageDrummer]

HAHA. Nope, that's my accent. :)
