Jman's WORLDWIDE HOME 
I think we'll just call this HOME, on the web anyway. This is my little place where I can share music, photos, video, and a little bit of ME with my internet friends and family. My passion for Electronic Drums has grown steadily for many years now. I have taken that passion to a higher level with my latest drum and cymbal conversions. Come on in, take a look around .... Sit a spell, take yer shoes off, sign the guest book on the way, and....... y'all come back now ... ya hear.....    Jman ..

STEALTH Drums and Cymbals ... by Jman

Monsterfied/Customized Drums.... Built Stealth and Looks to Kill!

I've never quite gotten over the looks and feel of a fine crafted acoutic drumkit. Time has been moving on and the advantages to electronic drums are weighing in heavy these days. Especially for those drummers who love to play but just can't afford the noise level of an acoustic drumkit. And the bands that want a great sound but also need to reduce stage volume. I have always enjoyed acoustic drums.... cherishing my kits like a fine set of furniture.... and the feel of those full size drums movin to the groovin as you play. .... Well no reason to sacrifice looks and feel simply to enjoy the advantages of E drums anymore.....

Here are the new STEALTH (A to EZ) Drumkits I have built, The STEALTH (A to EZ )Trigger System is a sytem of converting Acoustic Drums to Electronic Drums in a non-destructive manner. No Shell Damage! The Snare and Toms are 5 piezo trigger systems that were designed to take advantage of Positional Detection on the head and good, even rim response for Snare and Toms with sound modules that support those features. The Kick is a single piezo trigger. If desired the triggers can be removed and the kit converted back to acoustic by reinstalling the original heads and snare strainer ... just that EZ! 

  
 The A to EZ PDP LXE Kurillian Birch Exotic drumkit: This is where my dream kit and my A to EZ triggering skills meet! 
This is a 7 Pc kit with all the tom sizes available. Follow my progress at Vdrums.com HERE  Pictures HERE

The (A to EZ) STEALTH Pro:
This kit was chosen for both looks and function... Built with a small footprint.... Built for the Road.... Starting with the Excellent DW Collectors Series Black Velvet 5 pc. A kit... with Smartrigger cymbals and Hart EPedal II HH Stand/Controller. A real top of the line Beauty. And it is right where it should be at present.... On the Road...... Giggin!

STEALTH (A to EZ) Drum Trigger Kits
I make A to EZ Trigger Bar Systems for custom order. These are 5 piezo trigger systems for snare and toms(1 Head and 4 Rim Piezos) Built to acheive the great head and even rim response supported in the latest Roland Modules. They will really shine with the TD-12 or TD-20... and of course are backward compatible for earlier modules only limited by the module's capabilities.  Rim guard is included for all trigger kits (crystal clear rim guard is included but black is available on request) .... just snap it on your rims. I have extensive pictures of the installation, instructions, and will give email support as well as phone support if needed. 
Contact me using the tab at the top of the webpage if interested in Custom triggers for your own kit. All triggers are guaranteed for a period of 2 years. You simply cover shipping of drums or trigger bars.
 
Stealth (A to EZ) Cymbal Trigger Kits
 
I am now building STEALTH (A to EZ) trigger kits for cymbals. Including single zone splash and China, dual zone crash 13" through 16", and 3 zone ride 15" through 18". And Hi Hat kits for 12" through 14". 
Cymbal trigger kits include a Pre-wired jack box with jack/jacks, bow piezo for single zone splash or China, bow piezo and VRS rim switch for dual zone chokable crashes, and bow piezo, VRS rim switch, bell piezo for 3 zone chokable rides. Clear PVC sound dampening sheet for cymbal bottom is included as well as mounting hardware and Rim Silencer/Stick Guard. Killer Red double sided adhesive tape is included for mounting the clear vinyl dampener.  2 holes will need to be drilled in single zone cymbals, and 3 holes in dual and triple zone cymbals. Hi Hat bottom cymbals are also drilled for audio cable access. The process is simple.
