[sdiy] Thumb drum

[Mitchell Hudson]

	I wanted to order a thumbdrum from Paia.

http://paia.com/midibrn.htm

	But they say these are no longer being made! Can anyone suggest an 
alternative?

	The midi-brain I don't need. I just want to make a controller that 
you can hit with your hand that will generate a trigger pulse and a 
variable voltage level for some dynamics.

	The circuit that they describe looks very simple but I'm not sure 
about the piezo element. If this needs to be a special type or 
something. I suspect this is the part paia can no longer get which is 
why they are discontinuing the kit.
