Addictive Drums problem - one-armed drummer?

[Torniojaws]

There's something wrong with Addictive Drums, but I don't know how to fix it. It seems the "drummer" is one-armed. Ie. it cannot play 8th note hi-hat strokes simultaneously with snare hits (I tried left and right hand hits), it just alternates between the strokes and it sounds damn dumb uke: like a steam train puffing ahead

Here's an audio example:

Listen to the hi-hat. It should play 8th notes *all* the time (until it stops). But it doesn't.

it is playing 8th notes, the snare bleed into the overhead is so loud that the compression is literally muting the hi hat when the snare is hit

turn the snare in your overheads down, or use less compression

it sounds like your drum program is using internal compression

Mmm, that worked. They had hidden the bleed pot well, took a while to find from a very illogical place The manual does not talk about that knob at all Nor does it mention anything about bleed/spill.

AD has little to do with natural drumsound, except the samples.
