Ok so here is the deal . I started playing in. Deathcore/metalcore band . Now days is very popular for bands to us a 808 sub-bass drop , for breakdowns and heavy parts. Usually this is done by placing a e pad and conecting to module and thats it .

But here is the thing. I own a 6" vic firth practice pad that you can attach to a cymbal stand , i wanna see if i can use a trigger in that pad instead of buying a new e-pad just for one
Specific sound.

The pad is about 1" thinck and has rubber on both sides.

Have anyone tried this before? Is there a trigger for that or that can be attached to it?

If not ill but any generic e pad but i
Wanna try this first

Never heard of it being done before. You could always ask the guys at Vdrums, in the DIY section.

i don't see any reason why it wouldnt work, hook it up in practice. have a back up plan and if it doesn't work you can jjst turn it off anyway!

My question is , what kindda trigger can attach to a flat surfece with no rims?

I bare have knowledge about electronic drums , so help this poor e-rookie

I don't think you can trigger a practice pad. (but I'm no expert at this, anyone else?). But a second hand v-pad shouldn't be too expensive. And you can use that for sure.

Yeah every trigger ive found is made to mount in a rim or hoop not in a flat surface ;(
