One thing, though, Steve:

The freq response of the piezos are dependent on their diameter 
and aren't as tweaky as specialized pickups. I've used them to 
good effect on sheet metal and metal fire escapes, though! :)

Some weeks back I posted a response (here) to someone wanting 
to build a MIDI drum trigger, where I explain how to wire these 
things.
