Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Ed,

Great feedback!!!  I have an xII with a Pintech snare that never seems to sound very
fat or impressive - it's likely something I'm doing wrong.  I'm going to sample some
different amps to see if I can get some better sounds, but I want to ask if it is
possible to upgrade the brain to something other than the x-series without having to
buy new pads.  BTW, I'm still not used to the "two-piece" high-hat, so the "stick" may
be be the next priority.

Many Thanks,

greg

Steve,

It will be interesting to get feedback on your question, but it might 
be too much to expect an entry-level module to "blow the doors off" 
its name-plate predecessor(s). The fact that the III's tri-voice 
capability is more extensive and that the module has some new sounds 
and configurations is probably fair enough.  Besides, e-drum 
technology has not advanced by such leaps and bounds over the years 
that successive modules at essentially the same price point would 
differ much from each other. If you want to hear more and do more, 
you have to spend the money. I wonder how many people have gone from 
either the II or the I to the III module and how many of them are 
attentive or interested enough to have made deliberate comparisons. 
You also have to take into consideration listening equipment/ 
environment when evaluating. A poor amp/speaker combination or 
heaphone set won't be able to make fine distinctions, and any changes 
in listening/playing conditions from one module to another might also 
hurt relative evaluations.

Ed
