Keith,

What you say makes sense, except that one of the anomalies of these 
so-called "stereo" pads is, or at least used to be, that sometimes 
hitting in the vicinity of the rim switch didn't always result in a 
sound--either that of the head or of the rim. From what I recall, the 
lapse wasn't just a function of the trigger settings. I could be 
wrong. Any ideas, everyone?
