EDP switches for drummers

[Looptalk@aol.com]

Here's a challenge. 

Has anyone considered a better way for a drummer to use the EDP footpedal 
controls. 

Unless midi is involved, I think all of us use our hi-hat foot to control 
the 
record, overdub, etc functions.

My thought is to create switches that would respond to the down beat of 
various crash cymbals.  Double triggering seems to be a possible problem 
though.

Any thoughts?
