I Googled anything related to electronic drums. There are Remo drum practice pad conversions, acoustic drum set to electric conversions, as well as building your own design wood and rubber pad sets. Since nicer quality electronic drum sets cost in excess of $2000, I looked into alternatives and found much info on do-it-yourself edrum projects. (Note: I did this build in 2011, and I am now writing about it in 2016 – I didn’t have a blog then! Therefore, I may not have included every little detail as five years has passed, and at my age, I can’t remember what I had for breakfast.) The following is the rabbit hole that I went down in my effort to obtain a set of electronic drums. Maybe it is that I’m hitting that stage in life often referred to as the “middle age crisis.” Maybe it was because it was winter and I wanted something to do. Maybe it was to appease the family, and keep the so-called “noise” to a minimum.

Not sure why, as I already had a nice acoustic drum set that I loved to play.
