Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

My RHH130 didn't seem right when I got my kit, but I was prepared
for it from scanning this group before I bought the set.

I now consider Dave Ksycki an oh-fish-ul Yamaha company treasure, I've never
had such a painless warranty replacement. (Edirol is giving me headaches 
now)

Experiencing the RHH in good working order makes recognizing the flawed 
units
very easy.  I was standing on the old one and almost never getting a 
closed sound,
with the new one the open/close pedal feel is a reasonable parallel to 
an acoustic.
