I've been visiting here frequently and have really enjoyed the great advice to be found on this site. Thanx! 
I'm looking for people who have, like me, put together a monster set. Here's what I'm working on at the moment ... and what I could use some advice on:
I've got 8 toms set up (4 on each TD-10) and am trying to create a decent-sounding tom-range. Somehow all the good (natural-sounding) samples seem to sound a little "off" when I "stretch" them to high.
I've tried creating a range by creating two toms from each of the four samples provided, but the two highest toms get a "ringy" sound.
I've tried to create three toms from bottom samples in order not to have to tune the higher samples too high, but then the whole range sounds too "low".
Somehow I can't get it right ... the only ones I've gotten to sound good are the 752 Standard Toms ... I'd rather use some of the better samples though.
Anyone out there who has created a good 8-tom range? If you have, I would be interested in knowing which sample(s) you used for each tom and what you tuned it/them to (pitch and decay).
One more, while I'm at it. I've connected both TD-10s to my Mackie 1202 VLZ but somehow I'm getting quite a lot of "white noise" (hardly noticeable when I'm playing, but quite annoying when I'm programming). I've tried just about anything and am now considering inserting some sort of filter between headphones and Mackie mixer ... any suggestions?
Thanx again! Love the site, will continue to drop by frequently!
