Rim choke

2003-02-15 by Nicholas Carroll

Does anyone hate the choke facility on the ride cymbal pad rim as much as I do? I hate the fact that if I play the rim edge fast, every second beat tends to choke the sound. I am thinking of buying an extra cymbal pad and splitting the rim sound off to that pad. Has anyone tried doing that?

Recently I've programmed the ride rim as a second crash cymbal. It has worked well except for that inadvertent choking problem.

Re my problem with starting a main song by hitting a pad, I have now worked out how to do it, thanks to helpful tips from "underneathheaven". Thanks, buddy - much appreciated!
