Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

No, what I meant was, I fold up the frame with all pads intact. 
You'll find that you can make it quite compact with only a few 
adjustments to the pad clamp positions. Provided you have a station 
wagon, or a hatchback model car like mine and can fold the rear 
seats down, you'll have enough room to transport the whole thing 
without having to take it all to pieces.  The only trouble I have is 
in lifting it in and out of the car. I own a DTXI (now defunct) 
which came with a heavy solid black steel tube frame, but I 
understand the latest DTXII and DTXIII model stands are a much 
lighter aluminium.  Which should mean lifting and transporting the 
kit should be even easier.
