..one of my cymbals is jammed, it sounds like its being choked all the time, and then depending on where I hit it I get a good sound here and there.
Same here buddy...same here
Please remove the rubber cover and look if all metal squares around the circle are still in good shape, don't stand up Is the cable still okay? If you connect the same cymbal to another input, does it respond (malfuntion) the same?
I've done this several times, and after that it works (despite the fact that none of the flaps is broken or touching the metal plate). but after some minutes playing the problem comes back.
Actually I realized about it from the very first moment I got the kit, back that time I disabled the choke option for that cymbal and voila....however, as I wanted to have choked sounds, I enabled it once again and more or less it worked till couple of weeks ago when the problem was noticeable systematic.
Also, I've seen (and might be logic) that the cable coils around the stand, and once it reaches the limit (see attached pic) the cymbal rises the frecuency of choked sounds (almost eveery stroke). Is that normal?....if so, the guys at Sweden should try to prevent that movement that leads the cable to coil itself.
