Hi,
Aaron, thanks for the tip on the marching sticks. I'll
probably give them a try if they feel ok.

Giles, I hear what you're saying about it being a volume
issue, not a stick issue but I really don't want to mess 
around with the sensitivity as I like having the range 
to play softly and loud, depending on how hard I hit the pad.
The butt end, or the mallets seem to add another level
of power without having to adjust other parameters. It extends
the range of the current settings. I like the idea of having a 
"turbo" level if I want it, but also the soft volume. 

I'm sure you are right about the reasons for this happening, and 
that I may be just a bit lazy about re-adjusting the kit.

Later,
Rick
