Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Drumsonly....

Interesting... sounds like 'gain' setting.  I have experimented 
somewhat with the gain, but was more focused on rejection, head 
tension, etc.

I will try some experiments over the next day or two with gain 
settings and will post back to the list.  I DO have my gains set 
pretty 'hot' on the Hart pads, so you may be on to something.  With 
another practice Tuesday night, I should have results by Wednesday.

Thank you for sharing your experience!
