Hi all, I'm trying to check around to see exactly what materials people have used to create their own DIY drum pad projects.
I am using a ceramic piezo sensor and the entire disc is about 1" diameter. I will attach a product link if that helps, just let me know.
This is a follow up on a post I made under project guidance so I apologize for the double post but I can't seem to get a reply.
From what I can tell, foam is advisable underneath whatever the piezo sensor is attached to in order to control extra vibrations from drum hits (ideally I want to be able to use drumsticks on this).
I've also seen rubber recommended but I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for when I go to the craft store.
I'd also like to ask if you guys think metal is required because I have seen a couple of examples where the sensor itself was attached to the center of a metal disc.
This is a prototype with the goal being drumsticks hitting whatever the drum head is made of, and sending voltage to my Teensy 4.0 to transform into MIDI velocity values.
Does anybody have advice on the materials to use? Thank you so much for reading and for any info anyone can provide!!
