Re: Reviewer Guidelines

2003-09-04 by oldguydrummer

think that it belongs on DTXpressions instead.  Here goes:
> 
> REVIEWER GUIDELINES
> 
> 1. Construction/road worthiness:
> rack material (aluminum/steel/other).
> rack size (standard or proprietary lengths and diameters).
> mounting hardware (metal/plastic/other).
> pad type (drum/cymbal/pole/other). 
> pad size (diameters/lengths).
> pad fit and finish (WAF, as well as general build quality)
> playing surface (gum-rubber/mesh/metal/acrylic/other).
> trigger type (piezo/FSR; mono/stereo/dual).
> pad adjustments (sensitivity/polarity/tilt/other).
> accessories provided (cables/splitters/cymbal stoppers/other).
> 2. Documentation--clarity and comprehensiveness.
> 3. Design innovations (as stated by manufacturer or noted by 
> reviewer).
> 4. Plug-and-playability/ease of set-up:
> recommended module settings (reviewer's and/or manufacturer's).
> 5. Electronic performance--false or double triggering/hot spots.
> 6. Feel/acoustic noise level.
> 7. Comparison to DTX or other counterpart, if applicable.
> 8. Sound quality via headphones/amp (an incorrigibly subjective 
> measure, though possibly mitigated by design specs).
> 9. Value, relative to the list/street price of similar products, as 
> well as the "cost no object" imperative.
> 10. Warranty/customer service/company contact info.
