Absolutely doable. I did this like 10 years ago.

Takes a bit of trial and error to get the trigger placed where it triggers properly, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying electronic pads.

I have a set of DDrum redshots I plan on using,bolting them to the remo pads,and see what gives.
I saw a set on ebay where the home made piezo was placed inside the remo head,Id rather use my ddrum triggers,seeing as how I already have them.
Question: Are the remo practice heads soft/semi soft foam padding,or are they a semi real drum heads?/or are they jells?

I don't know if the redshots will work well with practice pads. I don't think they'll be able to track the velocity well.

I don't remember what brand of practice pads there were. They had a drum head cover, with grey outer rings. They used Rubber inserts.

I use an small .. 8 or could be a 6 inch remo as my kick PAD

I've busted it a few times and the strengthening mod is getting bigger and I use more epoxy each time.

I use a failed CDR for a plate ... inside (see the above web site)

I like the feel of it better than the Pillow Pad from Gibraltar.

Remos are good for extras but as a main snare or hat I find the plastic suround a liitle off putting when you miss hit.

Simple - don't miss hit
err yeah ... but I am a crap drummer and I do.

I've tried using rubber around the surround and it helps.

Make your first DIY pad with a remo and then you may get the urge to do more. I like small cheap toms cut in half with a mesh head and roland style cones.
