problems with double strokes on toms

[BURNIN AMBITION]

firstly let me tell you that my double strokes are fine. i always practice on pillows, i know i need to pull hard on the second stroke on toms, so that both strokes are equal, and in general i know what i am doing.

here is the problem.
i noticed that while recording with tommy igoes playalongs from groove essentials volume 1 (excellent playalong book)

i record the track by simply using a splitter and recording the headphones line out in an mp3 player - recorder

whenever i record double strokes on snare, everything is fine. it is excellent. whenever i record double strokes on toms, there is huge problem. the strange thing is that i can hear the double strokes perfectly on the headphones as i play them, but when i hear them in the recording, i cant hear the secodn stroke of the double strokes.... i have tried with a bit loose mesh on toms (cause it has more natural feeling, i have tried with tight mesh, i have tried with gain in 3 (normally i have it in zero), and in all 3 situations there is this problem, when i record. as i play them and hear them , i can hear everything fine. the problem is in the recording and only in the double strokes.

i wonder why on the snare everything is fine and not on the toms. but ion the snare i use 2ply mesh head...

any ideas? is it a matter of settings ?(a matter of my hands? (i seriously doubt it), is it because of themesh head? or is there some other reason? thank you

This sounds like a mask time issue - the module ignoring strokes too close together. I'm not sure if it can be adjusted on the 2box module the way it can on Roland brains.

He hears them on his headphone, so the unit generates them.

Try another way of recording first (via outputs or outputs and mixer).

Send a separate mix from a couple outputs to your recorder, and a mix to listen to through your headphones. Page 55 of the brand new Manual.
