Re:Koby snare

2007-01-27 by Nic Box

I purchased a Koby 2 zone snare about a year and a half ago, and my 
first experience was good. I would however say that I'm not that 
impressed with the dual zone. The snare trigger is fine, once you get 
your trigger set up as you like it, but the rim trigger is next to useless.

My solution to this was to use inputs 9/10 for the snare, and split the 
cable between the Koby pad and a single zone yamaha pad positioned next 
to the snare set up with the rim shot sound.

Having said that, I have since purchased 3 more Koby pads and replaced 
my rubber toms. It's a much more wrist friendly playing style, and the 
feel is similar to my accoustic kit, so my practice sessions
are more a kin to live. Or as close as it's going to get :-)

Hope this helps
Nic
