Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Look in the files section, you'll find a file that is called
metal.syx. It's what I use for metal/hardrock. Maybe it's good foor
you too.

something stupid. i got a dtxpress2 more than a year ago cuz i lived
in an apartment and wouldn't have been able to jam loudly and i was
looking to learn drums. since then, i've been just programming drums
via midi and having the dtxpress play them for my recordings. i know
electronic drums aren't traditionally used in punk and hard rock, but
i'm wondering if anybody could recommend a decent kit setup for that
type of music. i'm using a custom one a drummer i know made, but i'm
curious what anybody else does.. i want a pretty realistic sound. i
know there's a limit to how real it can be, but if anybody could get
me some hints on a basic setup that might work for me. maybe just the
drum sounds you're using and the tunings (if any) for the individual
drums. if this is asking too much, i apologize. i know the best way to
find a sound i want is to experiment, but its kind've a daunting task
and i'd like a base setup that might get me started.
