Great sounding hihat!

Thanks, Jimmy! It's the Z60sNB 15" hats but pitched up 3 semitones. That was actually one of the easier instruments to get right.
I've been working on a Neil Peart patch for the DM10 based on his kit from the Exit Stage Left album. I've pretty much maxed out the available inputs so I'll need a trigger IO to finish it. Take a listen and let me know what you think

Very well done. Not many users have the ability to program the DM10's internal sounds like that. How much time do you think you have into this patch so far? I ask because many don't know how long it takes to make a good sounding kit in the DM10.
Thanks for the compliments. Once set up properly, I really feel that the DM10 is the best value on the market. The sounds in it are light years ahead of what I've heard from Kat, Simmons, Ddrum, et al, even being a 5 year old module at this point. Even the Yamaha 750 and 900 stuff doesn't sound *that* much better and in some cases (imho) worse than the DM10. With proper dynamic settings one can all but eliminate the machinegunning effect that plagues most modules, which I feel is 90% of the battle for realism. But I digress.
I first started working on this kit back in May for fun. Nearly every time I sit at the kit I'll tweak some parameter or another. I've easily put a dozen hours into this kit. Pretty much every drum and cymbal has been swapped out at one point or another
