Repairing my Ddrum bass trigger

[vht4me]

so i saw a thread on another forum that had a link to a replacement peizo for a ddrum trigger on ebay. I figured what the hell i have this old worn out bass trigger i'll give it a try for 10 bucks. I just plugged it in and gave it a few taps with my finger it works:) The real test will be when i hook it up to my bass drum tomorrow. Here is a little pictorial:

i used a tiny flat head screw driver to scrape away the glue holding the sponge in place and then pealed away.

disassemble and unsoder old wires, i always use a pair of plyers when soddering in tight places.

route the wires through the plastic holders

all soddered up and ready to be reassembled, and i glued down that sponge with some "liquid nails" (no super glue in the house) worked fine.

sweet deal, does it work? I had the same problem the piezo crystal broke/cracked and hasnt worked since. I bought new ones but it would be nice to have a back up. Where did you get the replacement one?*edit duh ebay*

i just tried it on my double bass kit Roland on the right, DDrum on the left and it worked perfectly. I still want to try it out on a single bass drum with a double pedal. These are the guys i bought it from http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Replacement-Transducer-for-ddrum-Triggers-5005_W0QQitemZ350256429245QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_De faultDomain_0?hash=item518ce8f8bd&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116
i should have bought 2... i might just have to switch to DDrum triggers since with these replacements you can basically keep them alive forever. I wish i knew a place where i could order extra cones for my rolands.
