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.
