Can anyone please help me? Please…(drum triggering)

[Ghostofthetown]

Hello there!! I’m new here. I’m from the Boston area and I’m a 38 year old male drummer.. I own a roland td 15 kv and today I purchased EZDrummer.. Ok , that’s my introduction( I didn’t want to be rude and just ask a question without introducing myself and saying hello ). My issue I really need help with is this. I’m new to the drum software/triggering world. All I’m trying to do is trigger ezdrummer with my roland td 15. I downloaded ezdrummer and ezdrummer solo. It seems to be working fine on my computer. I’m using a Mac. I can’t get the roland drum kit to trigger. I hooked up the module to the computer using a USB cable from the computer to the back of tHe module into the computer connection. I select e drums on the drop down in ezdrummer and I pick the td 15 in the audio device drop down on ezdrummer. What am I missing? I don’t know where to go from here . Please help.. Thanks in advance..

do the drum graphics on ezdrummer show that a drum strike has been made? i mean, when you are all connected up, then you strike the physical drum, does the graphic on exd ‘shade’ in black briefly showing it has detected a midi note? Are you using your computer headphones out? This is where your headphones should be connected, no longer to the module of the roland module. Your wrote exdrummer solo – do you mean toontrack solo? if you have any other programes open that use sound, then it is possible they are ‘locking up’ your soundcard’s output., e.g. any games running int he background, or videos, or skype type s/ware. Have you also installed ASIO4ALL – this will help with latency issues.
