I have no intention to be a smart ass, but this forum is full of people which are happy with their module and also with people facing problems with their build that make questions and receive answers... Maybe you should ask your questions in a different manner, with all the details attached... I doubt that I am cleverer than the average guy but still I got my gear running with a lot of trial and error, and of course with receiving answers within the forum. You obviously spent no time on the FAQ... E-drumming has nothing to do with using acoustic gear. Of course, you can always go for the easy (and expensive) way and spent some thousand euroes or dollars and buy a superb Yamaha or Roland gear. But, believe me, once you set up your Megadrum correctly, you will have some gear that looks every commercial product in the eye in a fracture of the cost.

everything works PERFECT with my roland TD8. FLAWLESS, Yea some tweaking was involved

I believe you overlooked the fact that roland technicians spent countless hours finding the right combination of settings and components to make their setup work. That is why it costs more and has less functionality. If the roland was truly "PERFECT", why do you need a megadrum anyway?

When I used the alesis trigger IO with my kit it was an abortion.

If the alesis trigger i/o gave undesirable results, why try megadrum? The methods involved with getting triggers to work with the alesis and the megadrum should be quite similar, so if you couldn't get one to work why would you be able to get the other to work?

Not to mention, the megadrum has more inputs and more parameters for adjustment. Honestly, it took me more time to design my drum kit and make my triggers than it did to build and debug my megadrum. In the end, I learned a lot of interesting things I probably never would have tried to learn and I prefer my set over any of the pre-fab sets offered by roland, yamaha, etc. I know how and why my set works and I know how to tweak my set as my drum playing skills improve.

The roland TD8 does not support dual trigger functionality on the toms,Thats why I bought the MD...The trigger IO did support this function but its no big secret how horribly it operates,if you didnt know this then just youtube it,its everywhere.I really had alot of faith in the build and sincerely though it would work but after countless hours on the forum(pre and post MD build) and hours of tweaking the MD My results are unsuccessful.I didn't want it to come to this ,I would have been perfectly happy if it somewhat worked but it just doesn't work well with the hart dynamics TE 3.2 triggering system.Even when setting all parameters to zero you'd figure I'd get very little or no response,but striking the snare hard with those setting still produces a flam type sound.If your MD works for you then fine But Im posting this so others who may run into the same problems will know what to expect,Im not here to start a war, I bought a product and it doesn't work to my needs or expectations so I'd like a refund thats all.BTW I'm selling my 32 ch. built by dmitri MD to anyone who wants it,just PM me


"The methods involved with getting triggers to work with the alesis and the megadrum should be quite similar"

Not even close. Just head on over to the Steven Slate forums and see what Steven himself has to say about the velocity curves and the functionality of the Trigger IO

I believe you shouldn't be doing this until the dispute you raised with Paypal to get a refund is resolved.

Dmitri you've made your point clear to me,you will not refund my money so I have nothing more to say to you,Your build is class "A" no doubt but your business ethics suck,you have no consideration for the consumer,and that, everyone should know!...Concerned about my paypal dispute?You should be and I believe you know why.

How can you get a refund for something that you want to sell to somebody else? Sounds fishy...

Kupooglop,DID YOU BOTHER READING THIS POST BEFORE YOU COMMENTED?,Dmitrti made it clear that he is NOT issuing a refund HE IS NOT!!!!OK? so what else is left for me to do but sell the MD,nothing fishy here,nothing at all if you are intrusted in the MD I'll knock $25 off what I paid

Yes, I read this post along with all the others. I found out that is a great way to learn.

If you file a grievance with paypal and paypal gives you a refund for the amount you paid Dmitri for a megadrum while you sell the megadrum for any amount of money, then you essentially get a refund and make money. In my opinion, that behavior would be fishy. Actually, that would be a scam.

if you are intrusted in the MD I'll knock $25 off what I paid

No thanks, I prefer to build my own. (not that I have anything against Dmitri's construction, I just like the satisfaction of knowing that I built it myself. Why don't you just take a deep breath, calm down and figure out how to use your megadrum instead of trying to get rid of it? You could probably get rid of your problem by adjusting the retrigger parameter. It doesn't sound like a xtalk problem. Whatever snare you are using is probably too hot as well.

Trying to get a refund on a disputed item and trying to sell it at the same time sounds like an attempt at a fraud. When Paypal asks me for further evidences on the case I will have to report it.
