Is it me?

2003-05-12 by moosetication

Or is the HH65 really... well, not that good?

I think, a month or so in, the hi-hat (overall) is my biggest gripe 
so far, and the pedal in particular.

I don't like the range of travel, I don't like the sponginess, and I 
don't like the irritating propensity for it to produce a splash if 
I'm even slightly imprecise about stamping on it just so when 
choking an open hat stroke. Or is my muscle memory of real hi-hat 
pedals suffering from Alzheimer's?

If it's not just me, what would the panel recommend as a replacement?
