Re: Logiztix Pads

I'm also going with the logistix set up, but i just recently decided to go 
with an Alesis dm5 brain, that im receiving monday. I made a test pad 
already, and yes, it does work...but the way i did it was slightly off, and 
it wasnt sensitive enough...just a little tinkering should take care of that 
problem. Not bad for a whole kit that will probably run about $500+ total eh? 
And i'm definitely going to check out the mesh head plans...i need a very 
responsive and fast snare.

Andy, while im waiting for my setup to complete...how is your snare working 
out? ANy problems with it missing a hit?

 that gives you instructions on buiding your own e-kits. I'm thinking of 
going this route to add more triggers to a DTXpress kit at a lower cost. What 
I'm curious about is how truly feasible this is. Will the DTXpress unit 
accept homemade drums like they say? 
    Very feasible indead.  I bought just the brain and pedal and built all my 
own pads, I now have more pads than inputs.  All works great, but others 
don't seem to have had the success I have.  I think the DTXpress comes pretty 
fully loaded on pads, only the 9/10 jack is open, so there's not much room to 
add more.  Definate recommendation on the Logiztix site though.  Especially 
as they have instructions in the members area for mesh head pads, just like 
those V-Custom pads you tried.
 
 Anyone have any luck trying this? 
    As you may guess I have tried this and had tremendous luck.  I don't 
think I'll ever buy a manufacturers pad again.  Try it out, these pads realy 
work and are so sensative I'm having to solder resistors into the circuits to 
get the dynamics I want from the DTXpress. >>

I'm still using an AcousteX snare pad, not got round to building a mesh pad yet, 
But my snare pad is beautifully responsive.
Never misses a hit,
self rejection down to zero means I can get true buzz rolls without miss triggers.
It is absolutely great, if a little over sensative - need a weak resistor in here I think.
Love those guys at Logiztix.
