I recently bought a Roland HD-3 as my first electronic drum set. Surprisingly, I haven't been able to get the same clear, loud, up-front sound from Jamstix 3 as I get from the basic HD-3 module. In the mix, Jamstix 3 sounds fantastic, but when jamming live, it doesn't sound as good. With the HD-3 module, I can hear every sound perfectly clear. With the JS3, it's difficult to hear the hi hats over the beating of the sticks on the pads and the kick sounds muffled. Are there particular presets that I need to load to get the same clear sound as I get with the HD-3 module? Maybe I need to adjust the sensitivity. It would be great to figure it out so I can start practicing with JS3. Until then, I keep going back to the simple HD-3 module.

I may be dense but for loudness I'd simply increase the volume of your amp/headphones. If the hats are too low in the balance, increase their volume in the kit editor or mixer.

If you need more punch, reduce ambience or use a close-mic kit (they usually have 'Dry' in the kit name).
