Tips and Tricks for Settings
Triggering when playing softly
Lowering the value for "Threshold" allows triggering even when hit lightly. However, if the
value is too low, triggering may occur when another drum is hit with force. If this happens,
increase the value for "Crosstalk cancel."
Eliminating Double Triggering
Three methods for avoiding double sounding. (two sounds produced with one hit)
• Raise the value of "Retrigger Cancel." IMPORTANT: If this value is too high, notes may
“drop out” when struck repeatedly in rapid succession or during rolls.
• Raise the value for "Threshold." However, if this value is too high, triggering may be difficult
when hit lightly.
• Mute using a ring mute or outside muffler, or use a muted head such as the PINSTRIPE™
from REMO Inc.
Preventing Crosstalk: Triggering Unhit Drums
Check the points described below.
• Are the drums touching each other?
If parts of the rims or shells of a bass drum and a tom or of two toms are touching, vibrations
may be transmitted to the other drum. Reposition so that they do not touch.
• Are toms tuned to close pitches?
If two or more toms are tuned to close pitches, unstruck toms may resonate. Tune to pitches
that are farther apart. Alternatively, use muting.
If this doesn't resolve the problem, increase the value for "Crosstalk cancel." Note, however,
that if this value is too high, triggering may be difficult when the drum and another drum are
hit at the same time or when the drum is hit lightly.
Eliminating the floating of the ring mute
When you install RT-5S or RT-3T on a snare or a tom with a ring mute, the ring mute may float
from the surface of the drum head due to the mounting hook pressing down on the edge of the
ring. You won't get the full effect of the mute if it's floating. Should you avoid such floating,
please cut off the part of the ring mute where the mounting hook will be placed.
