My cymbal volume is low when compared to the rest of my Turbo Max Kit. Can I adjust the cymbal volume?

The Turbo Max Kit does not include individual volume controls for each pad. All drum and cymbal pads are velocity-sensitive and will respond accurately to how hard they are hit. However, cymbals should not be overtightened, as they need to have some play in order for the vibrations of the hit to reach the pickup inside them. If you believe that the volume of your cymbals is significantly lower than that of your drum pads please contact our Customer Support Team for assistance. 



The hi-hat "chick" sound is louder than the hi-hat and other cymbals. Is this normal?

All the drum and cymbal pads are velocity-sensitive, meaning the volume and expression of the sound will change depending on how hard they are hit. The hi-hat "chick" sound (i.e. the sound made when pressing on the hi-hat pedal), however, is not velocity-sensitive and will play at full volume each time. 



My headphones have a built-in microphone. Can I use these with my module?

Headphones that feature a built-in microphone have a 'TRRS jack' that may not work properly with the Turbo Max module. The TRRS headphone jack features an extra channel which may prevent it from lining up properly inside the headphone port on the module which can cause audio drop-outs or incomplete signals. Standard headphones which feature a 'TRS' headphone jack are required for a consistent and reliable connection.



What are the dimensions of the assembled kit?

32 x 46 x 32 inches (length x width x height)



Can the Turbo Max Kit snare trigger a rim sound?

This kit includes a single-zone mesh snare pad, which means there is only one zone to trigger - the pad, so it does not have the ability to make a rim sound.



Can the Turbo Max Kit drum pads be tuned?

Yes, and we do suggest making sure that they are the proper tension before playing for the first time. Tuning is done by twisting the head by the rim; and we suggest tuning tight enough that you cannot press your thumb into the center and create an impression with moderate force. By doing this, the kit will have optimal response and and avoid damage.



Can I use a different module with the Turbo Max Kit?

The Turbo Max Kit module is configured to respond optimally with the included drum kit. You could potentially use third-party standard triggers; however, since other manufacturers design triggers specifically for different drum modules, not all triggers may respond as expected.



I'm not getting sound from my pads! What can I do?

If you are not hearing sound when striking your pads, ensure that the cables are securely connected to both the module and the pads. Next, ensure that your headphones or speakers are properly connected. Then, ensure that the module's volume is at an audible level. If you are still having trouble, you can reinitialize your module to the factory default settings. To do so, power it on while holding the + and - buttons. This will restore the factory settings, also erasing any settings that have been edited. which will return to their defaults. Please note that the kit does not make sounds without an output device like speakers or headphones.



Can I create custom kits with this unit?

The Turbo Max Kit has 12 presets whose sound palette spans 110 distinct sounds. While you will not be able to create custom kits within the module, you could use the kit to control a custom kit in a DAW via MIDI.
