Can I use 1/8 jacks instead of 1/4? The price for a 1/4 socket around here in Canada is just ridiculously high.. and 1/8 cables can be found really cheaply (0,50$ for 6' at monoprice.com).


I'm building my own drum, so technicaly I can put any socket I want as long as it's stereo. The only downside I see is that I wont be able to use commercial pads (roland, yamaha..) without using a "converter plug".

You can use any kind of connector you want just about. The main thing is to pay attention to whether it is a mono jack or a stereo jack. Either can be used, but it will take twice as many mono jacks.
