pleace help; problems whit megadrum and the rimsound

[juanla]

A piezo has only two wires, there is not much to look into. In case of the rim piezo, one wire goes to the sleeve(ground), another goes to the ring. If you don't get a signal, the problem is one of these:
1. The ground wire is not connected to the sleeve or poorly soldered.
2. The signal wire is not connected to the ring or poorly soldered.
3. A short between the ground and the signal wires.
4. The rim piezo is broken.

the thing is that i have try whit diferent piezos, and diferent jack , and diferent cable.
don't worry, i will buy new calbes and piezos and jack, maybe this is the problem, i don't know, i hop so.

any way, tahnkyou very much for helping,
i will tel you when i find the solution

realy thankyou very much

sorry,

And still you have a connection problem. Get a multimeter, and test connections for continuity/shorts to figure out which of the four reasons I listed is the cause of the problem.

And also, judging from your pics, you think the tip is Rim and the ring is Head and you should consider them other way around.

yes, i will now go to buy a multimeter. no, i know that the tip is head, and the ring is tip, but i try all the diferent convination but i couldn't get the rim sound.
y will check whit a diferent cable and the multimeter
thanks
