... and I would like to share my enthusiasm about the suitcase: A real
funny piece of cheap components but the perfect way to trigger a fully
loaded SDSV unit with "the real feel" of drumming on a kitchen table.
I don't want to miss it. And if I don't set it up on a bass speaker, I
don't have any cross triggering at all
