I've been recording my own drums using The Alesis Midi I/O Drum Trigger and a `"Frankenstien" midi drum kit, consisting of Casio and Roland trigger pads and Remo pads with Simmons drum triggers glued on (No Duel-Zone pads). Re: GM midi map -- if #49 is my left crash, #52 is my china, #55 is my splash, and #58 is my right crash, where's my ride/crash sound?
I'm a guitar player, so I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that if a drummer only has left and right crash cymbels at his disposal, doesn't he have a third via a hard hit at the edge of his ride?
And isn't it true that alot of drummers use that interplay between the bell and a hard hit to the edge of the ride, sometimes hitting BOTH at the same time?
If 51 and 59 are two ride options, and 53 is the ride "bell", where is that elusive ride "crash" in midi?
Are the normal pads for ride duel-zone or tri-zone, and if tri-zone, is there a crash option?
P.S. I should have taken those drum lessons.
