mesh heads on musicaid pads?

2008-08-21 by jesper

Hi List!

As mentioned, I've settled for a setup with "just" 8" pads with dynamic 
speakers as pickups. I e the SDS-3, SDS-4, Pollard and Pearl Syncussion 
pads.
I'm looking to buy new skins for a couple of the pads that are in lousy 
shape.
Will mesh skins work with that kind of pickup? I have some kind of mesh 
on the Pollards and it works nice though they aren't as effective as far 
as trigging goes. This can have more to do with the brains and the fact 
that Pollard was designed for Pollard and as I recall it they trigger 
the Syndrum just perfectly.

Mesh looks cool and isn't as noisy. It also has a tendency to be a lot 
cheaper. :D

Let me know drummerboys!
