How to make a homemade Hi-Hat pedal for a Yamaha DD-65 DD-55 using a few household items, this will save you loads of money and is really robust and hard wearing!
Check out my other video on how to make the bass pedal.....

Great video! The supplied pedals are no good at all. This invention improves the situation massively! Well done.

Yes you can record all the pads through midi, I use fruity loops but I'm sure lots of other programs do too......;0)

Ignore my last post! I was thinking of something completely different!
To be honest I don't think the KP65 is wide enough to take both pedals, you will have to look up dimensions on both pedal and pad to see if they both hit the pad! if they do then I don't see why it won't work....;0)

Cool. Where can we order the springs from? Any hardware store?

Anyone know if you can use a normal midi hat with the DD-55? Via 1/4 inch in?

What is the foot you use to put your DD 65?
Thanks!
