Thanks Dmitri :)

Everson I'm sorry if I advised you to increase the xTalk value, I thought it might help to reduce crosstalk from the piezo's . :oops:

For the resistence i would like to suggest you to set the megadrum to default values, go to snare channel and hitting hard the pad , rotate the trimpot to reduce the signal from piezo and and read the Highlvl on megadrum, when it's cold use a Multimiter to see the value of trimpot and replace it with a resistor .

I have a good dynamic range with 650Highlvl and 10k resistor placed is series on positive piezo wire :)

No, I didn`t raise xtalk. I knew what is it for and I don`t have xtalk issues.

As for resistors, yup, that`s what I concluded as well - a 10k will be fine. Just have to find time to play with the new head piezo holder I have in mind ...

What do you guys use for cones? Which foam? I`m satisfied with my cones made of sanding blocks ...

10k resistor in this case is a coincidence. The foam of sanding block is much harder than classic foam cone from Ebay ( i have this http://www.ebay.it/itm/6x-STANDARD-e-dr ... 3f10da3b82 )

I think what is of most importance is how fast it reverts back to its original shape. It also has to be neither too soft, neither too hard ...

Nice video! But I must admit I'm puzzled, through my lack of knowledge, by how the HiHat pedal is linked to the the HiHat itself. They're not on the same axle, are they?

Thanks!

It`s a so-called remote hihat, or cable hihat.

I changed the trigger design as well as look of the pads.
I also worked on lighting, so videos will now look much better.

:D Glad to hear that, because I`m too addicted to lots of turkish psychedelic folk rock (so called "anadolu rock") tunes from 70`s, and even 60`s. And there are lots of fans around the world ...
I guess my next cover will be something from that sphere again ...
Thanks for watching!
