Cymbal bell shots

2004-01-20 by mikeincamden

I got a DTXpress II for Xmas. What a wonderful invention! People who 
did not play thirty years ago have no idea how we suffered with the 
problem of noise. (Cue violins).

I've taped a piece of thin rubber to the wooden beater of my 
Speedking in the hope of reducing wear on the kick pad rubber.

But is there an easy way to enable cymbal bell shots please? I 
thought I saw a while back an illustration somewhere of a tiny cymbal 
pad that mounted on top of one of the half-round cymbal pads but 
maybe I dreamed it. Seems rather an odd omission the lack of cymbal 
bell when it's so commonly used. I noticed the new three zone cymbal 
pad soon being issued but what do people do at present?

Hope to contribute something before long instead of just asking.

Thanks

Mike
