Homemade pedal, lol.
Sorry abt the size...
 
NICE!!!
I don't think it can work-work.
Maybe you just step on it but not play it.

Don't break the masterpiece.

ilovegm: You really started to love drums huh. Good Luck for you lesson today!
 
Yup, it works but I don't think it will survive if I step hard...

Yea, I am getting obsessed with drums, just had my lesson in the afternoon, was quite fun, Alfe is a nice guy :)
 
Mini drumset for ultra-portability!

10" hihats- Sabian HH Duo splash over Wuhan splash
16" Tama crashride
10" Laser snare
13" Pearl "bassdrum" (actually a mounted tom)

I'll work on it somemore and see if I can convert it into a cocktail style kit, i.e. make the "bassdrum" vertical. The "bass" is actually a tom from my full drumset, if you remove the green leopard-print wrap you'll see the crimson natural finish underneath!
 
Hahahaha so last week I set this up in my room, then I disassembled it and packed it ready to bring to tekong.

Then I tried to lift my bag and URGHHHHHOWWW

So in the end, I just brought hihat stand, hihats, and pedal. I clamped the pedal to a pail, and converted another pail into a snare xD

I came up with a plan to reduce the amount of things I need to bring in (the bulk of the weight came from the snare stand and clamps), tomorrow I'll be looking around for something to adapt. If successful, I'll post photos!

For those who're wondering, the "wrap" came from spotlight and costed me $7. Since this is just for practice, I just made very rough measurements and didn't even use tape, everything's held down by the lugs. Took me half an hour, and it's still holding up fine.
 
Ohoho!

It's a very rough job rushed to finish before booking back into tekong (I'm leaving the house in a short while) but I'm quite satisfied with it for now. You can see the wood isn't properly aligned, I just cut it very roughly and glued and nailed it. But it works.

In any case, actually, a 13" bass sounds surprisingly good!

Btw, the Iron Cobra isn't going to camp. My other (cheap) pedal is already in my locker, with my hihats, so I needed something at home to check the alignment and board thickness while filing it down to fit the pedal clamp size.
 
Innovative DIY job there Composer!
You're lucky that your Coy allows you to bring all those stuff, so you can practice even during BMT. When I was in BMT, they didn't allow us to bring any miscellaneous stuff. Heck, we were even limited to bring only ONE cup noodles each week!
 
you can bring a drumset to camp?!

that's something new. and i thought at most you could bring are acoustic guitars...
