Hi Richard,
Thanks for the reply. I'm a beginner drummer but I definitely like the feature and used it when I was playing with Aerodrums' samples; it's essential for some songs.
Yes, I think a separate cymbal element could work better in terms of positioning flexibility. What I'm not sure about is actually having to hit it rather than quickly moving the stick into it. I found I could hit the left crash and choke in almost one movement. Hit then 'swipe' left.
I suppose, for me, the best option would be a circular cymbal choke zone that I can place, but that just requires a marker moved into it, not hit. I'm a software engineer myself, so I know these things are probably easier said than done

How about starting a poll so some more advanced drummers can weigh in?
Thanks for the great work on Aerodrums btw, I'm really enjoying learning with it.
