got some 30GA metal from the HAVOC area at the home depot for about $7.00 and there is enoughto make 8 pads. Just got done making them so I will give an update later. I have a QM set for the 360.

Hi just curious is there anyways to fix the sensors? my yellow pad was somewhat dead would love to fix it but don’t know where to start or such the little box that goes from the back of the pad into the little connector came apart. I was playing before and it was hitting but once every say 10-15 hits any suggestions? would love them get back to me thanks.

Did this two days ago and it works great. I used gorilla glue to paste the steel to the plastic and made sure to get it in the cracks trust me it will make a difference also just glue guned the pad on then tightened the side thing and vuola new pads that i can wail on with no set back. the coin mod does make it a lot more sensitive than it was before.

hi thanks for the tutorial i’ve just done this to my red pad who was cracked and it works great, but obviously i’ve lost a lot of sensitivity, anything i can do about that ? i can try the coin mod but i’m not sure it will be enough , anyone try to buy better piezos or couple 2 or 3 piezos together to increase the sensitivity on a pad ? thanks for your help

I tried this and got as far as placing the rubber pad back on top but when I went to screw everything back together I could not get the pad to catch on all sides taught enough to screw down the plastic lip. So how do you keep the pad from moving and feeling boggy not taught.

Well I did the remaining three and I was able to get a 26 gauge piece of metal from HD this time. Last time when I fixed the snare the first time it was a thicker 24 gauge piece. The difference is night and day. The 26 responds even better than the 24. With less loss of sensitivity. I cured the head problem with the rubber coming loose by taking them all off. I went to Gamestop and bought the rubber/vinyl pads that they sell to quiet the kit. They are self adhering so stuck them on there and now it is quiet and responsive.

DO NOT PEEL THE BACK OFF PRIOR TO CUTTING!

You will notice if you buy those pads that they dont fit inside the ring straight out of the box. You will have to do some trimming to get them to fit. Just use the colored ring as your guide and cut on the inside line. Yall should have the colors of the pad memorized by now anyway so you dont need the colors. If you’re looking down at the pads you cant be looking at the scree anyway to see what note to hit so dont sweat cutting the color rings off. I would post a picture of the finished product but I dont see how to.

i just fixed my yellow pad the other day i just used epoxy to layer the front and then used gorrilla glue to reiforce the back seems to work fine if someone doesnt want to use metal

I got a so so sensitivty loss doing this. thank god its my red pad thats cracked and I hit it hard enough where the loss isn’t enough to affect me that much. I may just have to do it for another pad since my yellow pad starting to crack. Will prob do another one and just put it on the green pad since I barely use it and I can use the cymbal if really need to.
