I have had my TD3 for a few weeks and am really happy. Although, as I am getting better, I am realising how much different (phyiscally and accoustically it is from a 'real' kit).
I am currently taking lessons and am learning on an accoustic kit and last night when I got home, I started to notice that I was getting 'double hits' on the snare.
If I play slow and deliberatly, then I generally get one beat, especially if I snap the stick away after hitting the drum.. But as I speed up, I am starting to notice that its triggering twice (or more). I am currently learning a 'left hand independance' rythm, which requires me to hit the snare twice in succession and its during this time that instead of getting 2 beats, I can actually hear a 'blurr'... I know that a lot of its is down to technique, as this rythm is so alien to me, that I know I am not hitting the drum quite right.. But on the accoustic kit, I don't get this 'bounce'
I don't think that its a triggering problem.. I think that I am simply hitting the drum twice.. I don't know if this is caused by bad technique, or because the skin is too tight (or loose) and I don't know what to do about it.
Can somoene help me?? Should I:
1. Concentrate on my technique.. Perhaps practice do some exercises to help me manage this.
2. Loosen the mesh
3. Tighten the mesh
4. Play around with the settings to see if I can stop it triggering on the 2nd hit (I don't think that this is the right way to go, but thought I would suggest it)
I look forwards to hearing from you
