Zildjian Alchem-E HiHat with OH audio

Just a raw footage fragment from upcoming video. Sharing because some folks keep telling me that having missing stick strokes is completely normal for edrums.

It is not normal because any edrum hihat is supposed to simulate the real thing. Every time I hit the real hihat, I hear the sound of hit regardless of pedal position. If edrum hihat does not produce stick stroke sound in response to stick stroke, it is a defect.

The good news is that stick sound blends with audio samples much much better than plastic hihat allows. Makes it possible to use the kit in IEM-less environment. The video is of 1.1.0 firmware version, hope the issue will be addressed promptly by Zildjian.
