There was a wireless midi unit by a guy out in CA.....Matt 
something.....He Built a run of these things called a walkabout.
It was kind of like a mounted KAT pad that you could roam with. It 
had mounts for cymbals (normally VisuLites were used) and a 
Module.........I've never personally seen one, but I know Matt and 
have read all of the paper work. It was a cool idea. 
Another way to use a pad or two in a marching set up is to plug the 
module in somewhere on the edge of the field and use a wireless 
guitar transmitter. You can plug the base unit into the mod and the 
wireless pack into the drum. It will allow you to walk around up to 
the limits set by the wireless transmitter.......

Later all.....
