Jobeky snare too hot / positional sensing

[mprinz]

Now I cut really cut it.
And I think it's better. But not as good as I was thinking it will be.

What would you do next.
See the transient, that is not ok...
Or is that a normal one during hot spotting?

Anyway, here in Germany it's midnight and I will have another beer and go to bed.

I tired to order one of the toms, but they don't ship to Taiwan, unfortunately. In that screenshot, there's no more clipping, but if you are using a 47K it's not going to work properly. 30K is already pushing the limits.

Hi Rob!

No? But the gap between 0.8 and 1.2 ms appears when hitting the center.
What does clipping look like?
Anyway, now I get less of these gaps but when they appear I have 127 velocity.

And yap, beyond 30k nearly all features were gone ... and head/rim ratio was somehow messed up and, and ...
not nice.

I'm sure the root of all evil are the stiff rods.

I doubt it would be the rods. Or the decoupled. Have you tried a softer material for the foam tower or try a cone instead?

Hi!

That's what I mean... changing the trigger rod to a soft cone.
I ask a german company Drum-Doktor which of their cones is the softes and then
I will give that another try.

Haha. I see. I thought you were talking about the bars. Yes definitely change out there cone. I hear r drums work pretty well and that’s in Germany I believe.

Refer to this,

I posted in the "My pad is too hot" thread:

Now I have organized a softer foam cube for decoupling.

My to do list is as follows:

• stick rim piezo right below the head piezo, without sticky foam pad, just double sides tape. check all polarities?
  yesterday I recognized that the "+" of the head piezo needs to go to the tip, but the "+" of the rim piezo not to ring but to the sleeve?
  Ok?
• testing, good? -- yes -> done
• not good -> changing the installation to the lower lug screws to have more space for higher, softer decoupler
• testing, good? -- yes -> done
• otherwise ...

I quitted...

I bought another snare with drum-tec trigger like system, that will arrive tomorrow.
The rim trigger replacement was a good thing, now I got a quite good response around the rim.
I essence I just decoupled the trigger table and tested several trigger cones.
It was really quite obvious: larger areas contacting the meash head lead to hot signals. I ordered ddt-drum trigger cone.
And then I will sell this snare again... anyway.

I measured the piezo signal with the oscilloscope and I got a very loooooong ringing piezo ... somehow those metal bars are ringing and
mess up the signal so the edrumin cant get the pos. sense dialed in, I guess.

And now start annother thread with regard to piezo polarity , that costs me 1 extra day.

I'll buy that Jobeky snare from you.
