I soldered longer wires to the piezo leads, used
heat shrink tubing to cover solder joints, secured wire with cable ties. Piezo Sensor is attached with
a circle 3M double sided
foam tape cut to the size of the ceramic part of the piezo.
I cut the foam sanding block into
1"x1"x1.5" foam blocks with a miter saw and peeled off the
sanding surface.
The sanding block foam worked so well in my first project. I chose to use
them again for this project.
If you don't want to use foam blocks. You can also make
foam cones from the foam
sanding blocks.
A circle of 3M double sided foam tape
the size of the ceramic is used to attach
foam block to sensor.
I adjusted the sensor support so the foam block is 1/8" above
the rim of the drum shell.
Soldered wires to the 1/4" jack. Insert the 1/4"
jack through the vent hole and tightened down. Put on some
window screen mesh heads. One down
and three to go.
Next I will convert the bass drum.
