Drum Sructural Support "Mod". Works for all models

Since I'm too lazy and not very handy, I just bought some of these from NoSkill. These things made my EL drum pads useful. Before I used these the drum kit just sucked. I couldn't keep a streak going at all. I finally gold starred Gimme Shelter after using this mod.

I have no idea if they would be useful on a QM set however.

This is awesome, hopefully my dad will be able to pick up some PVC on his way home from work.

Thanks for this mod bro.

Gah, well, after cutting the SHIT out of my index finger, I think I'll wait for my dad to get up and help me.

Seems logical.

Edit:
One down, one to go.

I got these from the ebay auction and they are amazing! Looking at my drum kit, you never would have guessed it was mod. Now all my pads are feel solid like the yellow and blue. I was able to pass Move Along for the first time with this.

Thanks so much.

Ok, finished the second one today and went over to play at my friend's house.

Holy God, they improved my set so much, like, I'm almost willing to say I have the perfect set, with no mods, like, it rarely drops notes, but with this mod, it just doesn't drop notes, the end.

I have no other mods than this one, do it, now.

Just got my support struts from eBay and they are AWESOME! Kudos to you sir, I never even thought about support struts for the red and green drums, and now it seems completely obvious in retrospect. That is the highest compliment I can give any mod.

I wrote about it here with pictures..

Here's hoping Harmonix adds those struts to the next edition of the drum kit, because holy cow do they ever make the red and green drums work a zillion times better.

Again, kudos, and VERY happy customer. Awesome fix for a real problem, excellent quality and attention to detail, well worth my 20 bucks.

I definately recommend any/all drum sets to have this. It really is a no-brainer at the cost. I have a QM set with this mod and 3/16" gum rubber only...my set plays like a dream.

Bought it. Love it. Needs to be part of the next gen drums by HMX (along with gum/neo mutes).

Nice job DGP. Like I posted in my thread, I took a roll of toilet paper, flattened it, and essentially did the same thing. Cutting free-form is too difficult......use a template to make sure you cut these right.

That template is a great idea.

For those who would still rather purchase them, we will be selling these on our website at a reduced price starting soon. Hopefully it will be up and running this weekend.

I had 2 inch ABS lying around the house and chopped some up with a hand saw.

It's crude and not ideal, but GOD DAMN THIS MOD IS SWEET.

Some hockey tape, and I'm good to go. These babies are ROCK solid.

Added roughly 200k points tonight after this neat trick, red pad feels so much better.

Total cost = $0 as this stuff was just lying around.

Thanks.
