Will do and thnaks again.  Out of interest when a drummer moves from 
an acoustic kit to electronic does he/she need to drastically adjust 
their technique?  When I explained to the person I purcahsed the kit 
from about the problem of pads not sounding his reply was:

"You appear to be having difficulty with the kit, i can assure you 
that all electronic kits except top of the range ones function in 
this way. There is an expectation you would change your drumming 
style to suit the kit, as they are not as responsive as real drums.  
You would need to have bought a kit with mesh heads. Also when 
playing live most drummers use the kit to trigger samples rather 
than rely on the on board sounds. May i suggest you go to a music 
shop and try another kit which will hopefully reassure you that i 
have not sold you a defective unit" 

Is this a fair reply?

Cheers again.
