Hi there!
I’m having some problems recording from my digital drum kit into my computer, using midi. Being a novice to digital drum kits, midi, recording and pretty much everything else I’m uncertain whether the problem is arising from the drum kit, the midi cable, the external sound card, ezdrummer och simply the computer being to slow. I’m using a Yamaha DTX digital drum kit (uncertain of specific model name) and recording to ezdrummer 2 via an Alesis iO2 Express sound card. I’ve got a Mac mini that I’m recording on, and it’s not very powerful. The problem that I’m getting is that occasionally – quite often unfortunately – my strikes on the drum kit will register wrong. If I’m just doing a really long drum roll on the snare drum, then every now and then it’ll just register all over the drum kit. This can go on for one minute sometimes, where the hits are being registered seemingly randomly over the drum kit on the different drums and cymbals – many of which are not even represented on the physical drum kit.
Does anyone have any theories? Where lies there problem?
Thankful for help!

I had the same issue with my Alesia D4. The fix for me was the pad sensativity settings.
Are you using a DAW (Logic, Cubase, Reaper, or similar)? In that case, record the MIDI that you play so you can have a look at it. It will probably show that all the “wrong” drum hits that you hear are recorded, meaning that the e-drums are sending this data. In this case, the error lies within the e-drums – and you will get better help at a Yamaha e-drums forum!
But it doesn’t hurt to ask this here 🙂 Maybe someone here on this forum has some tips on what to do?
