Those who used for Alesis conversion. Did you modify the Alesis DM Pad such as add center cone on the Piezo, swap/remove foam or just mount this?

I personally swapped the mat and the foam around. I saw it in a youtube video it was supposedly supposed to help it be more quiet and there is a slight differnce. Just be careful when swappingthem as te wire to the piezo goes straight through the middle so it needs to be cut

You have to change the foam order because there is a thin layer of foam attached to a metal plate beneath the original heads. it's fairly easy. Just be careful when you move the thin foam (with the attached metal plate to it) move it slow and only a few inches so you won't tear the piezo element wires. I highly recommend this conversion, it feels more natural and the acoustic noise is reduced drastically. Good luck!

K Davis is asking how to replace the Pilates toe bar with a squat PLATFORM instead. I too am looking for this answer as an option for those who want a full platform, not just a "bar"...Hope someone else knows since some of us need support for doing squats and THAT requires a solid PLATFORM, not some "TOE bar".. I am considering making a platform out of plywood with padding and simply placing it up against the useless Pilates toe bar?

B.Bob, I don't think this will work for you without some pretty serious modification. Depending upon whether the Gretsch uses a "spider" or a "biscuit". If it's a Spider, no feasible way. With a biscuit would be possible to slot the biscuit, then insert the piezo and the place a saddle over it. It would be a pretty labor intensive and difficult task. Not impossible, but I would probably look for other options. You might look at a "dot" style transducer that could be placed on the center of the cone. This would probably be a less expensive and easier option than going with a Fishman or L.R.Baggs, both of which are good but pricey.

Yes, you should be able to and they should provide slightly better playability. I'm thinking about replacing my rubber pads with them on the new TD-11K-S set I recently purchased.

I emailed ALEKO thru their site and they were very responsive. So ask them http://www.alekoproducts.com/

the DM10x kit is the newest drum brain from Alesis. You can see demos on youtube. If you want specific differences, download both manuals from Alesis and see which model best meets your needs.Hope this helps,

Yes, this replaces the perimeter foam around the speaker cone. I removed all of the cracked and brittle foam and then put them on my 4410's and they sound great. Be careful with the glue, also look on youtube for walkthroughs. I did it in probably about an hour's time and I'm happy with the results.

I would personally mod after you buy. The stick felt a little loose to me and the buttons felt a little tight. I modded mine with sanwa parts and it worked great. Try it out with the stock parts first see how you like it.

Peak design also sells a separate part they recently came up with to address this problem. It is called the "pro pad stabilizer". I have one now and appreciate it very much.

The DM6 would be great for a 12 year. I have read that the Alesis is better quality in all regards to the Simmons. I have read reports that the Simmons pads break -- this could have everything to do with treatment. For my money I am more than happy with the DM6 I play.

no, not the way it comes. you might be able to get a different plate for it from B&D; or aftermarket. But why bother. I bought Makita 9227CX3 7-Inch Hook and Loop Electronic Polisher-Sander with Polishing Kit and it blew doors off the B&D; which gives you no options for changing out different pads.

Yes, contact the manufacturer. If you have an Alessi store where you live that might be the easiest. Otherwise, it sounds like a solder, and I wouldn't solder cookery.

The L-Cush should fit on all grados. All cushions should be interchangeable. I only have the SR80, but I've used the G-Cush, L-Cush, and S-Cush

Did you physically damage the drum pad or did it just stop working? If it just stopped working the piezo trigger switch inside may have just come loose from the pad. It is held in place by a piece of tape. Open it up and retape. Now if the pad itself is damaged I would start by contacting Medeli: http://www.medeli.com.hk/?page=contactus

Hi there, Without the actual make and model of the alesis model in question there is no way to be sure. If you can provide the model number than I'm sure I could answer your question. If your unit has a quarter inch (TRS) female jack for audio output then this HEADPHONE set is compatible. Best of luck, D

Hello, when I put my pad, on my 500 Mosseberg 12 ga. I tryed, mounting the pad with package screws . Did not work. So I used original screws. Perfect. Now if your pad needs to be fitted to the. Let me know. Good luck.

These are old posts but for completeness you can adjust the steam on the bar32. In fact it's the only knob on the machine. Honestly I don't think there is any difference besides the looks. I believe the bar32 is newer. Why would they go from a speak design and downgrade to a box design? Machine works great. Get a cheap burr for under 100 and you've got something to work with.
