POLL QUESTION: kick pedal dropping beats poll. ----

Hi... Please fill this out even if you never had a problem with dropping beats.
choosing the 1st question only also has meaning too!!!

 ---- After searching the messages and changing alot of settings with no 
definitive solutions, I have come to the conclusion that the problem with 
the dtxpress dropping beats from the kick pedal is widespread and has 
not necessarily been solved (not for me anyway!lol) ---- 

With your help I would like use this poll to try to determine:
 ---- 
1. how widespread the problem is,  ---- 
2. whether any of the solutions given have helped,  ---- 
3. whether the kind of pedal makes a difference ---- 
4. whether the kind of controller makes a difference ---- 
5.  if there is any grounding or static issues present.  ---- 
and some others ---- 

The more of us that complete this poll the better the 
results will be, so please fill it out even if you never had this problem ---- 

Please, choose any of these statements that apply to you;
