Scott,

Earlier this year, you wrote:

"The only 'dropouts I've noticed is when I do a "pressroll/flam".
I don't know what it is really called, but when you do a short 
pressroll with the right hand followed immediately by a shot with the 
left.Anyway, if I don't end that pressroll part soon enough, the 
left-hand-shot doesn't trigger.I've had to modify my playing a bit to 
ensure it is heard. Or worse, play it properly, with both hands doing 
the roll (R-L-R-L) with the last L played hard. It's all played in 
the time it takes to play a flam. I don't know why the last one drops 
out."

I agreed with you on that, adding that if the stick making the second 
to last stroke remains on the drum, the next stroke with the other 
stick won't trigger. As you said, attention to playing style helps, 
but certain kinds of roll are still susceptible. Anyway, with further 
experimenting, I discovered that this phenomenon is not a limitation 
of the AX14S but of the Xpress. No need to adjust the module.
