I purchased two Alesis 8" Dual-Zone DMPads. I'm confused by the "dual zone" feature.
I'll admit, I purchased online without playing them before hand. So I was surprised that the 2nd zone, the rim, was not the soft rim along the top as pictured ... it's actually the harder edge running beneath the head.
How am I supposed to hit this? It feels very unnatural to hit a *side*-rim. Am I doing something wrong? Does the soft rim not trigger at all? If so, this 2nd zone almost seems useless to me.
Thanks for any advice!
