Or is it called cross sticking? Anyhow.. maybe all of you already know this.. or maybe it'll help..
I have the DM10X, although I've modded it and I'm using a Laurin snare now.. but doing cross sticking on my ekit has been a bit of a hit and miss (literally?) and I don't use it often, and when I do, depending on the tune and if I do fills or go to standard snare hit during chorus' etc.. sometimes it's hard to find that sweet spot that works every hit. I know, generally, you flip the stick and place the tip a couple/few inches in from the edge, hit the rim with the butt end.. have tried various finger gripping to see what makes it easy enough to lift and snap it down without interfering with the sound.
Today I just placed the stick across both the sides of the rim instead of having one end on the mesh and I'll be damned, I got a perfect cross stick hit every time!
Small wonders for simple people, huh? Oh, but I've also removed the rubber rim protector.. I found it did deaden the rimshots and cross sticking to where I'd really have to pound the rim hard to make it work consistently but I have a feeling even with the rubber protector on the edge it'd still work a lot better if you lay your stick across both edges.
Just felt like sharin'.. has everybody had just about enough isolation for one lifetime?
