First Impressions

1. The software... WOW! Granted I have some understanding of the terminology and what setting up a trigger is all about but I think the eDRUMin software would still be understandable for a beginner.
2. Equipment: all my triggers are Jobeky AI center mounted triggers. All cymbals are Jobeky real metal cymbals and I have one Jobeky LV China.
3. I dialed in my snare first... of course. This was easy enough but I was getting some weird double triggering when I hit right over the sensor. But overall the snare worked very well. Then I tried one of my Jobeky metal crashes. Setup was a breeze and it too worked very well. So satisfied with the dual zone cymbals. For fun I tried to get bell sense to work and while it was moderately successful it wasn’t good enough to say it is supported for Jobeky single piezo crash cymbals. But then Rob already warned me it most likely wouldn’t work, so no big loss here.
4. I decided to try my toms next. Big improvement over what I was getting from my MegaDrum. Now it is hard for me to fault the MegaDrum completely because in more capable hands it might be great but at the same time I shouldn’t need a PhD to setup my drums. One big win for the eDRUMin... my 12” tom’s sensor is not very sensitive. It has some problems and I just couldn’t dial it in with the MegaDrum. It was just always weak sounding. With eDRUMin the software is so intuitive that I was able to bring it up to match the other drums in performance.
I plan to take a stab at the hi-hat tomorrow. I also plan to take some time to try the snare again. What I saw was that on the double trigger the little red line in the lower left was actually split in two. There were two lines. The lower half would be in one spot and the upper half would be in another spot.
Feature request. My Jobeky crash cymbals are very hot over of the sensor. Is it possible to add hot spot suppression to cymbals?
Two thumbs up so far.
