Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I think it may definitely be something gain orientated, I remember 
reading somwhere else (can't remember where) that the pads shouldn't 
be too hot with the xtreme II.  Good luck with it all, hopefully 
you'll have some good news on Tuesday. 

The Hart group:

I asked a couple of days back if anyone is using the xtreme II, no 
joy as yet - you are the only person I've come across with this 
combination so far - keep us posted!!
