I fabricated a couple of "beaterless" kick pedals to use with a MTM/
SDS7 rig and a SDX back in the day. One is made from a thick mousepad
or wrist pad material, over a metal base with a piezo trigger
embedded in it going to an XLR jack. There's velcro affixed to the
bottom and that held it to a rug. I played my electronic kit standing
up and would just tap my foot to trigger the kick or whatever bizarre
sound was on there. I still have the device and would be happy to
share some photos if there is interest.
