Re: Need Help for use with Ddrum trigger on DTXpress

2003-02-22 by dopmi <mapod@wanadoo.fr>

the trigger is on the border , i fiwed them right i think , and all 
my drum who have same problem of sensitivity ( on snare trigger are 
on left side and on floor tom drum on the right side so i don't think 
that the position is the problem )
