Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I've been lurking for years, but only just acquired a lightly used D5 kit. Otherwise an acoustic drummer so a bit new to e-drums.
My snare pad rim doesn't trigger unless I hit it in a spot very close to the sensor.
When I take the cover off, the wiring looks ok. Tapping the rim piezo with my finger triggers the rim sound but is no where near as sensitive as the head. The snare rim sensitivity is set on max.
When I switch the cable around to a tom pad, the rim triggers very well, so I'm confident it's a problem with the snare pad.
Presumably I need to replace the 12mm piezo for the rim. Is it simply a case of buying one the right size and soldering / gluing it in place?
In other regards I'm really happy. I've taken out the hihat pad and subbed in Zildjian low volume hihats. Trying to concentrate on playing rather than tweaking, but it's very tempting.
Thanks for listening
Ben
