DM10 Hi Hat Pedal: Is this normal?
« on: July 28, 2016, 12:27:04 PM »
So I understand a lot of people aren't happy with the stock hi-hat pedal.  I'm wondering if what mine is doing is "normal" or if I need to contact Warranty support.

Watching the position changes in AD2 it seems that the pedal doesn't even begin to register until it is fully pressed down.  So imagine the pedal is physically pressed all the way.  That's when the pressure sensor STARTS to recognize pressure.  From there I am able to apply more pressure and AD2 recognizes a full range of motion from Open to closed.

It would seem to me that as soon as you begin to press the pedal that it would start registering, not at the end.

That being said it's not a bad way to go, because the pedal is so tall that it's easier on my shins and ankle if I just always keep it pressed and use the weight of my foot to regulate the hihat.

Let me know
