Print the template and cut it out - you'll want to wrap it around the pvc one way for one strut, and then flip it over so the face that was on the outside originally is instead against the pipe for the second one.

(You'll probably just want to print it twice, it tends to get a little damaged.)

You'll also want to make sure you get whatever PSI rating is listed, I ended up getting one that was over twice as much (it was all they had, and I wanted me some damn struts!

) - ended up being a huge bitch to work with though.

Made mine today, in honor of getting Rock Band 2. I got the game at like 11, ran some errands, got home around 1. And didn't even play it until like 4 because I was making this and fine tuning it to get it perfect. Still not perfect but, pretty fucking close.

Thank you so much for the amazing idea, it's the greatest fucking thing since I put mouse pads on my set. The difference of playing with it and without it is truly amazing. Like. 250% performance increase. Just THAT much more less dropped notes.

amazing.

Thanks again. Thanks a bunch.

Edit: Yeah I know I missed the T in "adjustment", just a typo. *Shrugs*

Edit II: ROCK BAND 2 IS F***ING AMAZING. Go purchase it right now. Stop reading this. Just go get it. . .now.

Can anyone tell me the outer diameter of the needed PVC pipes in mm (Millimeter)?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply.
That should help me to find some suited metric material.

Is it possible to create a structural support mod that will allow me to use the Madcatz drum cymbals as well? The parts where the cymbals attach to the main drums get in the way of my current structural support mod.

so basically the same things you can get at goodwoods? and just a tip, when hes charging 25 dollars, dont tell people they can do it themselves for less than $2, thats like target saying, oh you can buy this at best buy for 20 dollars cheaper dude, go there instead
