Ride cymbal driving me crazy
« on: April 15, 2016, 03:12:38 AM »
I have been tweaking my dm10x kit for months now and I do luv it more by the day. I am becoming more frustrated at my ride cymbal and the crosstalk I am receiving.  I'm trying all my tips and tricks I've picked up but I now bring it to more competent people.  Pls help!

Lol yes it sounds like I'm striking my 3rd tom but I'm unsure how to dial it out

You should increase the xtalk receive settings in the tom trigger.

I have a lot fewer problems after I quit using the post mounted holders and put them directly on the rack

Mounting the cymbals on the rack? Using something like this?

Here this whole time I thought you were the troll with a heart of gold. Instead you're just a troll with a real troll's heart.
