First of let me apologize if this has already been asked/answered or if this is in the wrong area. In any case, here's my situation: I have recently built a cusom aluminum kit with custom lugs & paint and boy are they gorgeous! But they sound like crap! I've tried tons of head combos, bearing edges, etc, but I think I'm only throwing good $ after bad & wasting my time. I've decided to try to convert them to E-drums using my Roland TD8 mod. Ideally I'd like to use mesh heads & trigger them. Has anyone done this *successfully* and how? I'd really like to use this beautiful kit and I am very pleased with my V-Drums, they are just too small and well...not as flashy. Sorry so long.

Best place to ask this question is at the forum over at vdrums.com tons of knowedgeable guys over there when it comes to e-drums. Im sure guys here know but over there all they talk about pretty much is edrum related stuff

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."
