Hey all
So I started putting my cymbals together this weekend (I'm using Pintech practice cymbals), and I ran into a small problem. My first attempt was a single-zone ride. I'm using these:http://beta.allelectronics.com/make-...EMENT/-/1.html and I just left the piezos right in their cases and wired them in parallel. It worked GREAT... until I put the foam padding on the top of the cymbal.
I've tried messing with the sensitivity settings on my D4, but still no luck. The cymbal triggers great when it is just stick-to-plastic contact, but as soon as I put any dampening on top of the ride, it doesn't pick up anything unless I really whap it.
So how 'bout it, gurus? Part of me thinks I need to either get larger piezos or take the ones I've got out of their cases. The only reason I haven't done this yet is because I tried it with one and ended up breaking the whole thing into one zillion pieces. Any and all help is appreciated!
