Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

might have a little something to do with the sticks since i play with ahead aluminum Metallica sticks, no hihat movement than as far as i'm concerned its not worth the money.  i tried searching and i get nothing when i type in DTX?

also, these rubber pads are killing my hands and i can't do my

Anybody else notice they get tired ten minutes in?  I'll try not to

Frank,

You can maneuver the Pintech 10" meshes onto the Yamaha rack, but I'd 
use a separate stand if I were you. Placement otherwise is a bit 
awkward. A separate stand also has the benefit of removing the snare 
from crosstalk across the rack, meaning that you can keep your 
rejection, specific rejection, and self-rejection settings at a 
minimum. So nothing but the limitations of the hardware, software, 
and your own ability need interfere with the snare's response.

To me, the RHH130 is a blessing from Yamaha. The traditional 
situation of using a pad mounted on the rack is an invitation to 
triggering problems and customer dissatisfaction.  It won't change 
the sounds in the module, but it will permit a more natural playing 
style, at least for drummers raised on acoustic kits. The drawback is 
that rack-mounted hi hats can go anywhere on the rack where they'll 
fit and where they're easiest to play, but to me, the left side stand 
(for righties, anyway) still trumps flexible placement. The RH130 
does not have a bottom cymbal; it's stationary. Only the Visu-lite 
and the TD-20 hi hats have two cymbals. Hart is supposed to be 
producing one, if it hasn't shown up already, but chances are it 
won't be a good match with Yamaha modules.

A lot of people have trouble right off the bat with the DTXpress 
rubber pads; some people are fine with them. One way to reduce the 
stress is to hit the pads with less force. The law of diminishing 
returns on power intrudes much faster with electronics than with 
acoustics. My motto is "Let the module do the work."  Some people 
also choose lighter sticks.  But once you have the mesh snare in 
place, you'll cut down on the pain and fatigue. 

We're here for questions and answers. It's not a problem. Action is a 
little show these days, so I've become your booby prize. But other 
people will show up, too. I'm an acoustic drummer of 40 years or so, 
largely retired from certain kinds of active duty. Electronics just 
seemfed like the next frontier.
