ABSTRACT:
A conversion kit enables a conventional drum to be transferred into an electronically triggered drum. The kit includes a circularly shaped foam pad, a circularly shaped plywood panel residing beneath the pad and brackets connectable to the peripheral sidewall of the conventional drum in order to support the panel and pad beneath the drumhead. A pair of transducers are mounted to a bottom surface of the panel, one located near the center of the drumhead, and the other located adjacent to the sidewall. Wire leads connect the transducers to jacks mounted in the sidewall of the drum, with one jack being longer than the other to distinguish between the transducer mounting locations. Preferably, the kit also includes a shock absorber mounted between the second transducer and the panel.
