Hi guys,
New to the forum, i hope someone can help with the problem i'm facing with my DM10 X Mesh Kit.
Indeed, i have a problem with my kick drum.
When i play my kick drum, each 4 or 5 hits a little noise appears, a sort of little "click saturation" sound.
I've tried this with no effect:
- Change the cable of my kick drum to the module,
- Reset the factory settings for the triggers on the module.
Do you have a solution to this problem ?
Thanks for your help.
It's strange, because I thought my kit was defective when I noticed something similar. I'm not sure if it is the same issue, but my experience may help you solve your problem.
I noticed that when I would hit the kick, or even the snare, simultaneously with my right crash (I'm not sure which PERC input it's on, I'm at work at the moment), I would get some distortion in the kick or snare, and sometimes the sound would cut short altogether. I then noticed (unfortunately during a gig) that the crash itself would cut short occasionally, depending on what was being played either at the same time or immediately after striking the crash.
At first, I was able to curb some of the problem with changes to my crosstalk settings, but it wasn't getting rid of it completely. The crash cymbals that I received with my kit were both different. My left crash and hi-hat look and feel identical, but the right crash seemed to be a much thinner pad, and seemed like a cheaper pad. On a whim, I decided to switch this crash pad with my hi-hat, and it eliminated the problem completely.
The cheaper pad didn't work well as a hi-hat, either, so I ended up switching it out with the hi-hat from my old Roland kit that I use to practice at home. The Alesis pad gives me no trouble on the Roland kit, and the hi-hat seems to work fine also.
It was just strange that both crashes weren't alike, and that the second one seemed so inferior to the first.
I don't know if any of this will help, but maybe something will at least be useful!
