Translation1. 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.

If you contact me via the technical support we can figure out the double triggering and look the feasibility of your feature requests.

Just adjusted the curves on all my toms. Again WOW! The crescendos on my toms have never sounded better.

Would you mind giving some details on your Tom and snare settings? I’ll be receiving mine in a couple weeks.Mylo wrote:Just adjusted the curves on all my toms. Again WOW! The crescendos on my toms have never sounded better.

That's great. Would you let us know when you figured out the snare and hihat? I would be interested in the solution for the snare double triggering. What kind of snare do you use?
Best regards,
Pim
Re: First Impressions
Hi Mylo,
I sent you an email, but I'm not sure if you got it. In regards to your double triggering, update to the latest version because I think I probably already fixed that issue. If you're still getting double triggering when you're hitting over top of the piezo, let me know.

Re: First Impressions
I replied to your email today. Sent a file and a screen shot. The email would be from critchie@...com.
Re: First Impressions
So the snare is worked out. Rob was gracious enough to tweak the software. That helped some but Rob also suggested the trigger was a little too hot. So I went in and lowered it to like 0.5mm... just barely touching the head and that did the trick. My snare is performing very well now.

Re: First Impressions
I could do that but every drum is different and it is so easy to use the calibration feature that setup is a breeze. I suggest watching the video on this site under the eDRUMin product on setting up a mesh drum. It really is that easy.AKA Wayne wrote:Would you mind giving some details on your Tom and snare settings? I’ll be receiving mine in a couple weeks.
Once you have the initial calibration done then just tweak it to your liking. I, for example, adjusted the side stick scaler to get my side sticking to perform a little better with my trigger setup.

Happy to see more satisfied customers. How do you find the positional sensing and the hotspot suppression features, if I may ask?Mylo wrote:So the snare is worked out.
