I found a cheap but heavily used acoustic kit on Craigslist, and I decided this was the perfect opportunity to attempt an acoustic to electric drum conversion. I could learn the ins and outs of electric kits, have the ability to fix or replace any parts that I break in teaching myself drums, and also convert back to acoustic easily without buying an entirely separate kit.
In this build I detail how I created my own silent mesh drum heads, drum triggers for each piece of the kit, and built my own silent cymbals. I decided not to build my own signal processing module, and instead purchased a commercially available unit (Alesis Nitro) to do the heavy computing tasks. Please see my Instructables write-up for a full written tutorial and links to the parts and supplies I used in this build.
