Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

As a new owner too, I'll lend my 2 cents worth...
You can adjust the overall song volume by using the ACCOMP VOL knob.  
I set the volume of my drums to what I want using POWER/VOL knob, 
then turn down the volume of the song using the ACCOMP VOL knob. If 
you only want to decrease the volume of the song's drum part, I'm not 
sure how to do that or if it's possible without turning down the 
whole song.  Maybe some more experienced users can enlighten us.
