Hey guys, I am new to the forum and I'm not 100% sure this is the place to post this but you guys know a lot about electricity it looks like so here goes. I have an electric drum set and the cymbals are way too quiet. they have what I believe is called a piezo speaker which reacts to impact from the sticks and can even cause the cymbal to be quiet or loud depending on how much vibration it detects. I believe the rubber of these electric, rubber cymbals is too thick and so the Piezo isn't picking up enough vibration and thus giving a low volume output. I saw a horrible tutorial online saying to solder in a 4.7k resistor to the little circuit board. Would this increase the output? I'm gonna post the instruction video because it is the worst instructional video I have ever seen and I will probably make a better one if this works. Any ideas? Thanks!

I think you would be better off at a instrument or music forum. This Forum is for electricians and those associated with the industry.
