SPD SX Pads Issue

[Fuori Fuoco]

Hi everybody

I realized that the "high" pads (that ones that cover the high angled edge ) are really less sensible that the other six "plain" pads.

If I strike with my stick one of the plain pads with a low dinamyc stroke it sound perfectly in a low volume, but if the same dynamic I strike one of the three top pads it doesn't sound!!!

It have to be stroke harder to make some noise.

Is it normal?

Should I sent my machine back to the Roland assistance?

Thanks for any suggestion.

I would call Roland and get it straight from the maker.  :-\

You should be able to set the sensitivity for the main playing area as well as the rim.

In the past, it's been common to have to strike the rim a little harder in order for it to trigger ... so you don't get any misfires.
