10q i have some questions.
-i want to make the pads noiseless so nobody can hear me when the pc is off....
-can i do that?and i did not understand how to connect the hit-hat pedal...
-or how to mount the piezzo sensors on the pad electrically and i don't know if the sensors capture the mechanical impulse or the the sound of the pad
-can somebody give the schematics for connecting the sensors to the jacks

To minimize the noise of your pads, you will probably want to use mesh heads. You can make them yourself or you can buy them. To my knowledge, Roland mesh heads are the best for durability.
I have no idea as to how to connect the hihat pedal. I'll have to figure that out when I begin building it.
This is not the only way to make your pad, but many people have used it:

And as for the wiring diagram, this is for a dual piezo (not to be mixed up with a piezo switch) pad:
