I’m on a hybrid set with mesh heads and acoustic cymbals.
Sensory Percussion struggles with reliable zone separation when rim silencers are installed on my acoustic drums. I tested several models and thicknesses. The pattern is consistent: with rim silencers on, rim-shots become unreliable and frequently get classified as center hits. Other rim-based articulations (rim-click, rim-shoulder) also lose separation accuracy. Removing the silencers restores correct behaviour immediately.
Many users report good results with rim silencers, at least I’ve seen a lot of them being used out there so the question is whether there is a recommended setup or calibration method that ensures reliable performance.
Alternatively, is there a recommended approach to training or adjusting the sensor so that rim silencers do not compromise zone recognition?
Any guidance on how to use rim silencers without degrading rim-shot detection would be appreciated.
