Most pads are just big things that let you hit them hard and thus
squeeze a piezo without breaking it. If you have pads made with FSRs,
they invariably come with a MIDI host of some kind.

There are "mesh" head electronic drums and rubbery ones, but they both
seem to output the same thing. The mesh ones are just more bouncy and
easier to use real snare technique on.

I'd be happy to lend/ship a few pintech pads and rubber pads to anyone
patient enough to work out this module and hold my hand in building a
few. I'd even pitch in for materials if it helped.
