Missed triggering?

Having seeen a few posts about missed triggering I thought I'd pass on my experience. I've had my kit for around 9 months now - playing as another 'mid life crisis' beginner for which the DTXpress is perfect therapy! After a few months of use I started to get missed triggers from the Hi Hat and Snare pads though swapping pad units around made no real difference. My problem seemed to be with the jack plug / pad connection - when I was getting missed triggers it appeared that the plug had worked loose fractionally, presumably leading to an intermittent connection. This seems to be common to all pads on my unit - ie each plug has a small amount of movement (about 1mm) but only gets bad enough to cause problems on the two most abused pads. I changed the leads on these two pads a few weeks ago and now have much more solid connections and no problems since then. Might be worth checking if you have similar symptoms. Cheers, Pete.
