For the kick, I used the 14" steel snare which didn't work for a normal snare. This pic shows the wood stands...check the diagram for more info.
I'm laying out the kick to make sure the sides are high enough.
This is the kick's piezo, mounted to an L bracket. And no, I wasn't thinking about nipples when I made this cone :P (Thanks Jman) I just didn't make the cone big enough so I had to stuff more foam in the middle.
The finished kick in place. The kick is bigger than any of Roland's :D
