Cross Stick feature on snare drum

[DustinRY]

I began my DIY project this weekend, and ran into a problem with my snare drum setup and sound. I bought Quartz trigger cones, and I am using the TD-6 module. I made the toms and bass drum single zone, and the snare drum has a dual zone setup with the rim piezo mounted to the inner diameter of the shell, and the cone in the middle of the head. The TD-6 doesn't have positional sensing, so there isn't much dynamics to the pad. I had the most luck(on toms) mounting the cone flush with the rim, and having the head pretty tight. I was able to eliminate the hot spots on the toms, but the snare is a little more tricky. I had to turn the sensitivity down to a 1 (range is 1-15). I am getting issues with hitting the drum and having the rim trigger at the same time. There is a cross talk feature in the TD-6 module, and I turned it up to the max setting. I have played back and forth with settings, but it's still acting funny.

I wired the piezo's for the Roland module, and I know they work properly because I tested each individual component before mounting inside the drum.

Would you guys mind sharing your DIY snare setup and how to get the best sound? I play country music, so having a cross stick feature is a must.

Any and all help is needed.

I figured out a solution. At first I had the pad set to a pd-125. I'm not sure what the difference between a pd-120 and a pd-125, but when I switched the pad type to a pd-120, it fixed all my problems. I still need some minor adjustments, but I'm almost there.
