Hi can anyone help me to set my kit to produce a rim click on the 
snare drum? It is for use in a songa type rhythm. Thanks Lee.

You need to tell us a little more about the problem, I think. The 
trivial answer is "change the voice for the rim of the pad to one of 
the cross-stick voices". Presumably there's a reason why you can't do 
that, so give us as much information as you can.

Hi Stewart,
Thanks for replying to my query. I am a new drummer and new user of 
the Dtxpress and the problem appears to be my inability to read 
instruction manuals properly ( typical man as my ex wife would 
probably comment).I am a bit of a technophobe I'm afraid.

I apparently used a mono cable to connect the snare drum to the PCU, 
instead of a stereo cable, therefore not allowing it to recieve the 
output from the multi zone pad. I have now changed cables and this 
has cleared the problem up. I have never noticed my mistake till now 
because my playing has been basic to saythe least. I am geting more 
adventurous with my repertoire of late and have now discovered the 
importance of reading manuals!!!
