Got a Roland pad with mileage? Try this! 🤩

Just wanted to share a fix for my old Roland pads that I came across that gave my entire kit a second life 🙏

Incredible! If you're delivered a dead fish from Amazon, you'll know Roland wants you to "stay in your lane" 😆

Any fix for cymbals with mileage?

[@KrisHuber]

@@puffnpluky76 I somehow haven’t had any issues with the Roland cymbals I’ve had, but the 2 or 3 Alesis ones have all bit the dust and I haven’t had time to pick them apart yet. I’d imagine the wiring to the piezo sensor got damaged or the 1/4 jack. I’ll let you know when I get them apart!

Here's a random question for you. I have a td-17kvx2 and there's not a whole lot of play time on it but my snare has a dead spot on it occasionally. It's like upper right of the center. It makes no sense to me. The settings seem good and I don't see why that should affect 1 tiny spot on the snare. Any idea?

Since you said it's got some wear, the head might be having a hard time staying in tension at some spots, so swapping the mesh head could help :)
