Just wanted to share a photo of some of the new stuff I’ll be using on the upcoming tour. The box on the floor tom is a drum pad device like a trigger finger but i’m using arcade buttons instead. Also planning on doing a kind of hybrid thing with extra pads and triggers. Enjoy!

For fun I thought I’d give a little glimpse of something I’m working on. I’m kind of tired of all the electronic drum stuff i’ve been using lately and wanted to design my own. Here is a little glimpse at the prototype for the trigger pad. This has four switches inside and a piezo element (what your hearing is an old alesis D4 module using the piezo). I want to be able to layer multiple circuit bent toy sounds (via the switches) and circuit bent drum modules (via the piezo).

Seriously?  Had I known this video was meant for such greatness I might have at least brought a better camera…

1. Gizmodo! – Never would have imagined. I mean, really? I’m speechless. Favorite comment: “first video is a 1:04 of my life that i will never get back.” – yungjerry703

2. Hispasonic – This is great. I don’t know spanish, but yahoo does. Here is the translation. Favorite comment (and he is right you know): “of mpc it has little, rather of korg” – vestax005

3. Digital Audio Service – German Too! Here is the translation. More bigger!!

4. No Where Else. – And French… Here is the translation.

5. Team Tea Bag. – What does that even mean? Looks to be mostly a gaming blog. Looks like I’m in FF5 now. No, not really. I must agree though, massive IS massive.
