Re: New owner, saying HI! One question for now...

2003-04-16 by hairytrigger

Regarding rotating the pads, mine get rotated every time I set up and 
tear down. My pads go into a case in random order, and come out in 
random order. I have no idea which  is which.(Except, now that I use 
the TP80S for HiHat, it is always in that position!) If you are set up 
all the time, I suppose you could rotate, but I think they are pretty 
darn sturdy(remembering that with triggers, you don't have to hit them 
as hard as acoustics!)
