Mesh Kick Retriggering
« on: August 24, 2014, 01:27:48 PM »
I have since completed my mesh head conversions and these are all working great, except the kick - despite trying all varieties of settings, I am getting quite frequent double-triggering on the kick (due to extra rebound?), and the only way I seem to be able to stop this is by loosening the mesh head, which changes the feel entirely!

Is there anything I can do to the physical structure of the pad... add foam or something else?

A felt beater on a kick patch will help but it will make considerably more noise.

I just pack foam behind the impact point.

What conversion did you use please?  I used AHayden82's and have not had the problem at all.  I did have the problem when I set the retrigger and threshold settings too high, but once I readjusted that, it went away.  But you said you had checked and that wasn't the case.

I added a single layer of charcoal 1/4 foam on top of plate & added mesh head.. I flipped beaters around to the plastic side... Works great!

I also bought falam slam patch incase I ever use the felt side.. But I've not used the patch yet since I ended up not having any issues.
