Re: Cymbals and snare

2001-08-24 by Drew Cox

I too find most the standard kit crash's to be very wussy, especially 
through headphones (see my previous post).  I have played with the 
level pot on the underside of the trigger itself to get it sensitive 
enough for light work, and you can up to the minimum velocity in the 
trigger setup to increase the level at the expense of dynamic range.

For the snare, I was playing with the trigger setups last night and 
found that increasing the gain from the default 60 to 85 and reducing 
the minimum velocity made it a lot more sensitive to light strokes 
and still put out a reasonable sound when hit hard.

I would be very interested to hear what non-default trigger settings 
others have adopted to get the best out of their kit, especially for 
in-apartment practice.
