Thanks, I'll investigate.

It's just weird isn't it .. there's been lots of talk about Pintech
mesh pads and so on. The pads work. The bass drum pad fails often, and
yet no-one seems to be using an alternative. Maybe there's a very good
reason.

Of course, between you and me we could run a test .. I could pop
around with my brain and lead, and you could plug your bass drum pedal
in and we could see if it's settings, the lead, or the brain, or the
kick trigger. Maybe it's time for us to meet :-)
