Hello All,
Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself. 46 year old guy from Canada, who played acoustic drums as a teenager and into my 20's, then a series of apt's, condo's and then life (marriage, kids) pulled me away from drumming. Was never very good, but man...did I love to put on my favourite tunes and bang away.
Anyways, eventually you start to have a mid-life crisis and need a new toy - so a Strike Pro Special Edition was the answer. Lots of solid reviews and the value proposition relative to the competition was tough to beat. Wanted the feeling of an acoustic set as much as possible, but with all the benefits of edrums. I must say...it's a beautiful looking kit.
Just finished the set-up and wiring, almost ready to go. However, I have one question and it might be dumb...but I can't figure it out. The wiring is complete. All drums/cymbals are connected to their appropriate cable. I have one cable left over "Tom 2" - with a purple label. It's relatively short and won't reach Tom 2. Regardless, the Tom 2 drum is already connected to an orange labelled "Tom 2" cable....which matches the other orange-labelled Tom 1/3/4 cables. I can't figure out what the purple "Tom 2" cable is for? Checked all other drums in case it was mislabeled from the factory, but everything is connected. I fear the answer will be something obvious I'm missing, but I'm stumped.
Looking forward to engaging with the community and appreciate any help offered. Will post some pics once everything is set-up!
Thanks.
