Hi David
A lot of it will depand on how you play – if you are a brutal drummer then you will have to expect a few breakages (although it does sound like you have been quite unlucky with yours) But most people do not have any major issues for years.

Whenever I hit the green drum it makes it look like I’ve hit it twice instead of once but only if I try to hit an accent note or right in the center. Lower on the drum is fine but it’s hard just to hit the very bottom of it, can this be fixed or do I need to buy another sensor or something

Hi Brandon
If you are getting double (or phantom) hits then you will need to replace the sensor in that pad.
Have a look at our Solderless drum repair kits in the featured items box at the top of the sidebar.
Hope this helps
