I'm keeping this in my "Simmons tip folder" for future use. But, with a
bit of brain activity you could do this from sequencer too, you just
have to think about phases and levels an extra minute.
Slightly OT, but still e-drumming... My E-H Crash Pad (or was it the
Clap Trak?) was badly designed so that despite input for external
triggering it only accepted noise as triggers 'cause it needed a
negative flank going through zero. A small mod and it now accepts +5 as
it's friend does. Speak of phase issues...
