I made mine with ~6mm top layer, 3mm MDF circle with piezo glued on to bottom, then ~12mm bottom foam. The pads I used weren’t remo pads, but were very similar. The foam was very similar to the foam that came with the pad – light open cell foam.

Just take apart your pad – you’ll need about the same thickness of foam as what is currently in there. I experimented swapping the thin and thick foam between bottom/top but found little difference and went an assumption that I’d get slightly less crosstalk with thicker foam on the bottom.

I also cut a ~40mm hole in the top layer of foam in the middle (above the pizeo) to get rid of the hotspot (sharp rise in sensitivity just above the piezo).

I like the look of that 3-zone hihat. I want one 😉

What have you done for an edge trigger there? It looks like you’ve moulded something around the edge of the hi-hat…?

What’s the trigger arrangement – bell piezo, bow piezo, edge switch? Or something different?
