I am experiencing the dreaded hot spot on my new TD-9SX snare (the PD-105). I did a bunch of reading about it here (Grog's and gingerbaker's posts specifically), and most of the solutions are based on the TD-10 or TD-20. Does anyone have some settings that I might try on the TD-9 to reduce the hot spot?
I am not a heavy hitter, and my settings currently are set to a sensitivity of 10 and a threshold of 2. I like this sensitivity setting, because regular snare hits produce about 75% of the power level of the snare, with some room for loud cracks if I want to accent. However, if I happen to hit the dead center with a normal hit, I get the crack of a heavy hit when I don't want it....
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
