I finally figured out what my problem is.

[Michael Render]

I have been working for years to develop my chops but only acheived mediocrity.
My TrapKAT finally told me what the problem was.

[vdrummer20]

hmmm. You probably need a reboot and a refreash to Render 2.0. Most of us have that problem I bet.

[jjdrumz]

Yea it might be time to get an upgrade when that happens...

[daveybabes]

But

One man's mediocrity is another man's virtuoso.

My "chop" is not yet open for business
My groove refuses to move
My syncopation is in dehydration
and my beat is not so smooth

But Michael just smile as ya doin it!

Michael, I have to ask... what happened to the display surround? Too much sun?

The rubber is a mottled color and the flash created a lot of glare. There is no problem. The rubber is one giant molded piece and I guess I could sit it around the display better. But it doesn't bother me, so I don't bother. Am I bovvered? Look at my face - I ain't bovvered! (Slight nod to Catherine Tate)

I tried upgrading, but it didn't work:

LMAO!

I get that error all the time!

[SuperPuss]

LOL Michael

Mike I went to your site. I have to say that is a nice set (v-drums on steroids)to develop chops on.
The Trap kit is just jealous anyways. That is why it's saying all that stuff, LOL!

What type of screen are you using for that E-Taiko drum head?

[lucastc]

The problem is that these knobs arent always at the proper setting...

It helps if you can actually see the photo i was talking about...PIC-0072.jpg

I have yet to work with a material that survived! I have used 2 ply fiberglass screening and actual 1 ply mesh head material. All eventually ripped. I am still trying to work out a better material.

Ah, that's my problem. I have them all turned UP!

Mike have you tried the Solar screen (super screen) from Lowes.
I made a 14 mesh head for a rack tom. Although I only been playing it for just a week. I hit it fairly hard and it works fine. It don't even leave marks from the sticks. Also there is a material called pet screen. For the big drums that you have that also might work for you. That has a thick mesh to it. I would try the solar screen first though. It looks just like the old black hart single ply heads.

Let me know how it goes.
