I’m building my own midi controller/drum pad. What type of piezo transducer should I use so that the entire striking area can be used? I’m thinking about creating 2" X 6" pads. Thanks

Hello!

A piezo like [[SEN-10293](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10293) should work for you, there’s an example of someone using these in the video at the link below.
