Thank you for the advice. I will go through the sounds to find a 
snare sound that I like. Do I use a second snare sound for the rim 
also? This is the mystery to me. If so, do I set it up with a louder 
volume?

I like the Acusnare. It is nice to have a pad that is larger and more 
realistic in both size and feel. Those little rubber pads were 
beginning to bother my hands. It does seem to be very sensitive. This 
is my first experience playing a mesh head trigger, other than 
demoing some V-Drums. Also I felt that the price on this Acusnare 
made it an easy addition.

If you do have a chance to gicve me a couple of examples for the dual 
trigger snare setup, I would appreciate it.
