1st.
Does my drumkit need any kind of maintenance at some period of time or every time after playing.
2nd.
does anyone have some experience with this kit on how they like programmed it to sound awesome?
3rd.
i cant seem to get the bass-drum pedal stuck on the bass pad every time the holding mechanism just slides off the padmount.
I built a custom kit on my TD-4K about a year ago, and it's still my favorite. I can send you the specs if you want. It sounds closest to the "Arena" factory set, though, so if you don't like that one, you might not like this one either.
As for Question 3 -- I find I have a different problem: the bass drum pad always wobbles and rattles, no matter how many times I adjust it to try to make it perfectly level and solid. Seems like the back screws/spikes aren't thick enough, so they rattle in the holes. Have you run into that issue too, or is it just mine?
