Indeed, there are a bunch off FSR sheets in there
Some one over here helped me quit nice with a little article on resistant
glue<?> (does this make sense??) and shooting stables
cleaning the fsr's could help a lot too
The advantage is that the sillicon mallet triggers really accurate
On the other hand, it's extrmely noise, and plays like hell. drumpads don't
feel like real drums, we know that, but a sillicon mallet doesn't feel like
a marimba, it's more a sax where you try to play guitar on. on the other
hand, experimenting with different sticks helps a lot
