Hi there! I'm Italian so I'm sorry for my bad english ... I'll be soon a owner of a used DTXpress I, which comes with no stereo pads. But the brain should be stereo-capable, as inputs 1-8 are all for stereo pads (meaning a pad with a piezo and a switch, the only "real" stereo input [2-piezos] is 9/10 I think). I don't even own my drumkit and I'm already thinking about how can it be easily "modded & upgraded" without buying new expensive pads. I've found this group and the affiliated one about DIYedrums, I've searched old posts but I found only some posts regarding touch-sensitive lamp circuits to be added on cymbals to obtain the choke effect. I would like to know if this kind of switch on the rim it's a simple on/off switch, or if it has a more complicated structure. It would be fine for me even with links to old posts on this group or DIYedrums group. I've already planned to try dividing L & R of one cymbal and connect a simple switch and see if it chokes. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks folks!!!
