I bought a crimson II tonight for an unbelievable deal & got home and noticed one screw missing on the back of all the toms. Just wondering is the way the 10? pad is supposed to be or has it been altered?
Welcome to the Forum !
What screw is missing?..I don't see any reference to it...the image is all of the Top Views.
The Kit appears to be a Crimson II
SE (White Mesh Heads..Black Hoops..Gold Hardware).
The SE are typically Guitar Center Releases but I have also seen over-seas.Thomanns,Anderstons etc.You will not find them on the Alesis web sites.
The shells may be Generic have multiple threaded standoffs for different trigger plate configurations for use with Multiple Models as the wav form is interpreted different for each Module/Firmware and the Sensitivity Knob may be of No benefit for those Modules
Alesis Mesh Triggers have changed multiple times over the years , especially after 2016.
Alesis is also know to re-purpose extra/older inventory by changing a few components or updating/upgrading them..including the use of sensitivity (blend) knobs , which some may or may not have.
There was a report including a post (2017) with a rep response that
only US Kits were allowed to have the Sensitivity Knob..the post was about the DM10 Mesh Kits , I don't know whatever became of that or if it still applies.
The
Andertons UK Store still has the SE II listed , however I don't see the Sensitivity Knobs..
Thomanns shows as no longer available , so No images for reference.
The Crimson and Crimson II Kits have always had the Trigger Configuration with the inner and outer pickups with
Sensitivity Knob The main differences between the Crimson Models..Crimson I and II were trigger sizes.. and the Crimson II supposedly had higher quality versions of the same samples and supported the Pro-X (FSR) Hi Hat...the Original Crimson was discontinued years ago.
The Image/Trigger shown
does not have inner and outer pickups with Sensitivity Knob.
It does have the Foam Dust Cover which shows the position of the inner/Outer Foam Towers for a Trigger Plate configuration with the center/Head/Inner Pickup/Piezo and a separate trigger Plate with multiple Foam Towers that surrounded it for the 2nd "Outer" Pickup/Piezo.The Rim Piezo is directly below the Center/Head/Inner Piezo.
It also appears (2) additional (Non Stepped) Foam Columns were added to the Center Plate..probably to assist in preventing the Trigger Plate Cracking/Breaking which plagued a number of Models.
I attached the Patents for the Triggers and you'll see multiple configurations using multiple shells etc.
NOTE:I did a lot of searching and couldn't find an image of an Crimson II SE Trigger (White Heads) with the sensitivity Knob..US or abroad.
Including Ebay..Reverb etc etc...may be the SE Kits do not have the standard Crimson Trigger setup..and have an entirely different configuration.
