@ -26,6 +26,11 @@ I decided to open up my drum and see how I'd go about doing things.
### Note
The drum used in this mod guide is the original Hori Taiko no Tatsujin switch drum but as long as the mechanism is the same- other drums should be moddable the same way.
I wasn't planning on documenting this until I joked to a friend that I'd do. The pictures here were all taken post mod implementation.
Also, the workmanship of this mod is horrible. The tapes were cut as if I only had access to a piece of rock and not some refined steel scissor.
I only planned on doing this temporarily but it worked so well that I guess this would be permanent instead.
Also, the drum was in pristine condition prior to me modding it. It started getting scratches because I dragged it around while opening-closing, testing, and fine-tuning my modifications.
Please take care of your takacon, I wish I'd at least wrapped the surface of mine prior to modding but oh well.

#### Step 3 - Undo the rubber knots(? not sure what to call these)
These rubber knots are the ones that are keeping the top part of the drum attached to the sensors inside.
Use your pliers here, pull a knot up and guide it to the opening of the slot to free it.

Once you've done this to all the knots, you can now slowly separate the top layer of the drum which should reveal the sensors.
#### Step 4 - Add a layer to the thick base foam
By now, you'd see a piece of foam attached to a solid plate. Lift that solid plate up and you should see a thick black foam underneath it.
In most guides, they replace this foam with a 1cm thick cork or wood. I assume they just want to make the material less shock absorbent so my take was to add a layer of tape to each side of piece of paper to harden it then make a cut-out to match the original foam's shape and place it on top of the original foam.

Flip the solid board back to its original position.
#### Step 4 - Replace the foam that is somewhat attached to the solid board
After flipping back the solid board, you should notice a piece of foam with multiple holes in it.
Slowly peel that foam away from the board.
In most guides, they replace this foam with 1mm rubber sheet. We'll replace ours with electrical tape on top of paper.
Trace the outline of the foam on top of a paper and make sure to mark the 4 holes that we'd later need to puncture.
Add a layer of electrical tape to the untraced side of the paper and cut-out the shape you've traced.
Make the 4 holes and make sure to remove some materical from the center, vertically.
You should end up with the following.

After doing so, on the side of the paper that does not have electrical tape, add another layer of tape. I used masking tape because I ran out of electrical tape and then ended up adding another layer of masking tape to it to make the result thicker.

After doing so, you can get rid of the original foam and replace it with the one you've made.

#### Step 5 - Add layers to the ka sensors
**This was the most trial-and-error inducing part for me**
