Hello everyone. Anyone using Alesis Surge electronic cymbals? How do they behave in terms of sensations and quality of signal pickup? What module do you use them with? Do they work well with non-native modules (for example, I have a roland TD-10 TDW)? What's with the ride - how many zones does it have? I can't find a normal review, if you know good reviews, drop the vidos

I read somewhere that they are brass, that is, the sensation is sex

Played live. Not dragged in at all. The rebound is like from the plastic part of Roland's Cy-8, I will not say about the zoning. But loud, really.

I know about the volume and the material. Many people make plugs on them, I thought to buy silicone separately (it is unclear why the manufacturer does not supply plugs with these plates). I am more interested in the quality of the signal removal, how the ride behaves - does it divide the zones well (because the dome and the body of the dish should be separated, but Surge has not done this), how do they work with non-native modules - how long do you need to dance with a tambourine when setting up, there may be jambs in the work? (for example, I connected Yamakhov plates to the Roland module - a lot of noise and unnecessary squeaks!)

Yes, according to the idea, any module should work, because any pad is, by and large, a piezo sensor that transmits an elementary signal through the jack. The question of compatibility may arise when the number of zones on the ped becomes more than one. Here the question is whether your module supports a two-zone pad and is ready to read the signal from both pins of a two-pin jack.

it will work with any module, this is understandable. But I do not agree with the fact that each pad is an elementary piezo sensor, because each manufacturer has its own circuits in principle (some of them are not at all simple - I myself soldered pads according to the schemes of different manufacturers), and for example, if the "wrong" resistances that were calculated for the native module are in the scheme of the plates, then there will be noise or something else at the output, the zones may change places, and it will be necessary to turn the settings in a non-native module to set everything as it should. Sensitivity can be high on piezoelectric elements, and then it is generally possible to ruin the technique, and much more and the like...

It is interesting to hear those who currently use these cymbals with a native or better non-native module)
