Does anybody know the best way to ground all of the pad input connections to pins 15 and 16?

There is no magic here, you just wire one wire of every piezo (or switch) to the ground wires from pins 15 and 16.

So if one wire from the piezo is going to the ground, which of the pins for that drum does the other wire go to? (e.g. snare has pins 33 and 34)
Thanks

The other wire goes to either the head or or rim, it depends on what sort of pad you intend to use. Is it dual or single zone?

It's just a single zone pad so I'll just use the Head pin

Thanks

Well it still might be a good idea to wire the rim in case you want to swap to dual zone later.

Yeah I will, I was just using one zone to test the connections

Thanks for the help

I would like to bump this as I do not see an answer. How is everyone connecting the 20 input jack grounds to the 2 grounds( pins 16 & 15 )?

I thought http://www.megadrum.info/forums/viewtop ... 603#p28603 was the answer. What is wrong with it?
