Yamaha's own DTXv2 with a tp80s or pcy80s also chokes. ======================================================================== pete Mark T.

Commonly used for accents, often accompanied by the kick drum for additional punch. And only more expensive rigs like the Roland V's are actually capable of this effect. It requires a different technology in the edge of the pad, plus the "brain-power" to recognize the action of grabbing an edge. A similiar effect can be set up by customizing a crash or splash in the DTX to have a real fast decay. Experiment!
