	Hello i am probably going to buy a dtxpress in the next two weeks and i was wonderin about the volume option on it and i would appreciate all info any one...

	As I'm sure everyone will post, there is a problem with the volume of the unit, the drum volume is significantly lower than either the auxiliary input volume...

	I have just started to play my new DTXPRESS kit and have also found this problem. Paticularly on the ride cymbal voices. If someone knows how to increase the ...

	I have just purchased the Sennheiser hd25 headphones, this was the only change I have made and the volume and quality of the drum sounds has improved ...

	Hi all, I'm feeling like I need another tom so it's time to move my "snare" pad up onto the rack and get a new dual zone pad to use as the snare. Couple of...

	I use all my own pads with my DTXpress and they work just fine. I'd recommend the Pintech dual zone ST (SilenTech) snare at around $190 If I remember correctl...

	Actually, you'd have the same problem with the Roland. There are two different types of inputs on all Roland and Yamaha modules. There are stereo inputs, which...
432		Richard C. MacDonald vcrmac@...	Jul 9, 2000 6:55 pm
	Ahh. Both of your messages help me a lot. There's another option that I hadn't considered but that may combine the best of both options. I could go with the...

	This may sound a bit odd, but I was wandering if anyone has ever tried using a one of the normal 8" pads as a bass drum pad. It occurs to me that it wouldn't...
434		Brandon E Paluzzi bp33@...	Jul 9, 2000 9:27 pm
	Looking at the site, I'm sure you'll be okay. The give-aways are "switching technology" and "choke" Both of those require an FSR, which is what the Yamaha pads...

	Sticks get splintered when you start hitting real metal cymbals (and rims). If you play with sticks that have been used on an acoustic kit, you may risk ...
436		Tom Allebrandi tom@...	Jul 10, 2000 11:56 am
	... I didn't think about that when I got my DTX kit. However, I did buy myself two fresh pairs of sticks at the time. Why? 1) These pairs stay with the...
437		pdk pdk@...	Jul 10, 2000 12:43 pm
	Aaron, I'm still using the same sticks I bought nine months ago. I thought splintering was a thing of the past. ...
438		sanctum@...	Jul 10, 2000 5:21 pm
	The DTXpress only has on dual input, and I'm not sure you're right about the Roland using condensers for the rim triggers, I've read previously that the rim...
439		sanctum@...	Jul 10, 2000 5:21 pm
	Wood splinters shouldn't harm the rubber pads, the rubber wll be more resiliant than you think. As for the bass drum, I remember doing something similar with...
440		Brandon E Paluzzi bp33@...	Jul 10, 2000 5:27 pm
	Are you talking about my message? I said that the Roland uses dual piezos (on the mesh head pads) The rubber pads are a piezo head sensor and an FSR rim...
441		Mark Owen mtowen@...	Jul 10, 2000 7:55 pm
	Fellow DTX users: First: I tried to live with the standard single zone snare for about ten minutes, before upgrading to the Yamaha TP80S which works fairly ...
442		sanctum@...	Jul 11, 2000 7:15 pm
	Yes I was Brandon. I've read in previous articles that Roland uses piezo sensors for all their rim triggers, but I've never played with a Roland setup enough...
443		sanctum@...	Jul 11, 2000 7:17 pm
	Can't agree with the "mesh heads = more realsim" stance for snare drums, I find that mesh heads are far far far too soft for proper rudiment practice. The...
444		Brandon E Paluzzi bp33@...	Jul 12, 2000 12:56 pm
	Yes, I'm willing to go on record as first-hand information-- the Roland (and Yamaha) rubber pads use a piezo for the center of the head and an FSR for the rim....

	Whoops, make that 1 and 3-12 on the TD-10 bp ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ bp33@......
446		Giles Hearn giles_hearn@...	Jul 12, 2000 3:15 pm
	Sanctum's raised an interesting point here. The fact that e-drums don't sell very well is due to their lack of realism and from competition by machines and ...
447		sanctum@...	Jul 12, 2000 6:02 pm
	Hey Giles, I know you live fairly close to me, so if you want to pursue this idea of a gigadrum module, let me know. Having played electronic drums back in the...
448		Ben Hall benj@...	Jul 12, 2000 8:55 pm
	... It's going to have to be some varient of physical modelling, once it becomes powerful enough, I think. A full kit that uses a pretty complete model of all...
449		pdk pdk@...	Jul 13, 2000 1:49 pm
	Interesting to hear all this hoopla about making e-drums sound like real drums, and the comparison to the electric guitar. In fact the electric guitar took off...

	"Great songs forever dated (and ruined) by Dave Stewart's ham-fisted way with a beat box. I'd be great to remix those tunes with a real kit, played by a real ...
451		drumz111@...	Jul 17, 2000 7:00 pm
	Hi, i would like to know how to get the pads voice to change after playing the pad. ie a snare sound then changing to a tom sound the next time it is played. ...
452		David Collett david.collett@...	Jul 17, 2000 7:11 pm
	Has anyone been able to control ALL the parameters of the DTXpress from within VST? I'm trying to make a mixermap so I can, for example, change the volume of...
453		Giles Hearn giles_hearn@...	Jul 18, 2000 10:04 am
	I'm at work now so I can't give you a definitive answer, but what I think you want to do is set up a Pad Song. This allows you to set up a sequence of events...
454		Brow, Paul ... p.brow@...	Jul 18, 2000 10:17 am
	Dave, I'm using VST with the DTXpress - so far working great (remember to turn off midi thru so the DTXpress doesn't sound twice) Have you managed to get the...
