Hi guys can you help?
Im a Drummer but an amputee.
I lost my right leg in an industrial accident.
Ok my problem is i want to be able to trigger the drum kit i have - Roland TD30 with my stump on the kick drum.
Ive tried alsorts using basic electronics but nothing seems to work as i want and i need help please?
Ok the standard input just uses a basic piezo to set the signals off when struck.
However the drum module is very clever and you can not just trigger tehe input using say a switch grounding the trigger wire.
You can trigger the drum by doing a hi low signal operation on the 1/4 jack however this gives a double drum input and i only want a single note.
So i set too and built a simple circuit using an NPN and a PNP pair of transistors effectively in series so the input tto the module is isolated when not used and fired hi then low which gives a double beat.
If i ground the tirgger or supply the trigger wire the module shuts down after 3 beats and wont give a note until it sees a lo or high signal.
my grand plan was to use a tilt switch on my stump to activate the drum module .
Hopefully then i can get back to some kind of normal drum set up.
Can anyone help please ?
