Piezo location on Alesis cymbals?
« on: January 04, 2018, 07:06:54 AM »
Hi,
My used DM10x Mylar kit came with all 3 cymbals (ride plus 2 crashes ) supporting 3 zones including a bell switch.
On those cymbals the piezo is located on the front side of the bell ,but on the hi hat is on the back side of the bell .

So, could you share the location of the piezo on “normal” stereo crash cymbals ?
Please post your model too.
There is no need on opening the cymbal, just hit with the same force to the bell and see where is the hotspot.

( I need that info for a cool software I am making : switch-velocity and choke on any stereo piezo/switch input ,but it seems easy to emulate a bell switch taking advantage of the hotspot )
