    Just picked up a Space Drum but not getting anything out of it.

    Doesn’t seem to be any loose wires or bad connections inside (looks like it’s never been opened up).

    I don’t know too much about electronics so was wondering if there was any probable cause or if I just need to check all the individual components.

    Cheers, Dan.

    A likely problem is the piezo element that triggers it. Short together the 2 wires on the piezo where they connect to the circuit board and see if you get any output.

    Thanks for the help.

    I’m getting a crackle when I touch the solder on each connection but nothing else when I short them together.

    I have a multimeter thing but don’t really know how to use it. Everything I tested seemed to be conducting electricity though.

    Just seen the pic at https://www.ehx.com/forums/viewthread/3278/ of that space drum.

    Mine is wired completely different, there are 2 resistors on the back of mine and the wiring is way off.

    I’ve attached a pic of how mine is wired up.

    Thanks, Dan.

    Anyone any ideas what ones wired up correctly? Or are they different models?

    I’m clueless.

    Thanks.
