I have been having the same problem with my hi hat and snare. The snare drops out sometimes when I am also playing the hi-hat. Additionally, the snare volume will be erratic, or is that erotic, I'm not sure...but anyway... could you explain what effect adjusting the gain and rejection has on performance. That is, what does lowering or raising these parameters do exactly. I have also noticed the problem is more pronounced when I am playing with my band. Could other electronic sources cause a problem?
