My experience with a recent snare drum build, using RTS style trigger construction. I found the rim sensor was over sensitive. Playing towards the edge of the head would trigger a rim response. I put this down to the rigidity of the solid aluminium rods used to connect the shell/lugs to the centre m...

I'm interested in testing out the Roland MH2 PowerPly. Is this the right one?

Yes.

What is the BT-1 xtalk control set to? Just booted up SD3 and eDRUMin software. Taking a more analytical approach this time, I set focus on the BT-1 with X-talk at 15. Started hitting the snare, looking (and listening) for muted hits to show in the scrolling window. Increasing X-talk bit by bit to ...

Disabling compatibility has helped but I'm now getting occasional random muffled sounds when I hit the snare. It only seems to affect the 'Center' articulation, but not on every hit. When it happens, it sounds like an acoustic snare with a t-shirt over the head. I'm guessing the snare hit is somehow...

Reporting back with my 3-ply vs 2-ply Positional Sensing comparison... Replaced a Jobeky 3-ply head with a 2-ply Roland MH2 PowerPly. I thought PS was working reasonably well with the 3-ply, but it's on a different level with the MH2!! Sensitivity to hit placement is vastly more accurate. 'Off centr...

My BT-1 is behaving very reliably for me--no compatibility issues. Are you using version 2.2 of the eDRUMin software? Version 2.2 has tweaks to improve the reliability of the compatibility check You can also completely disable the compatibility check from the firmware update section. I'm using vers...

I've mounted a BT-1 on the snare drum, using Xtalk mode and linking it to the snare drum (SD3 map). I use it mostly for sidestick, but sometimes use the MIDI learn function in SD3 to trigger other sounds e.g. cowbell, handclaps etc. I've not had any luck configuring it as a kit piece (with sidestick...

I'm pretty most of 2 ply mesh heads out there are made by Remo.

I've just ordered a Roland 2-ply head (MH2 PowerPly) so I can do a back to back PS comparison with the 3-ply I'm using at the moment.

I'll report back when I've tested it.

I recently completed an A2E build with centre-mounted head and rim piezos (R-Drums style) in a 12 inch wood shell snare. Positional sensing is working pretty good with a Jobeky 3-ply head. I'm getting distinct Centre/Off Centre/Edge sounds with SD3. Like the Real Feel, the Jobeky 3-ply also has a lo...
