Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi all,

After 2 years of drumming (all with the DTXpress) I finally joined a
band and last night had my first practice with them.  Unlike my
drumming, the DTXpress performed faultlessly.

We are finding our way - I have never played with anyone, they have
never played with a drummer, but one problem we had was each hearing
the right balance of what was going on.  I could hear the lead guitar
better than my own drums, the bass guitarist could hear my drums but
not the lead guitar etc.  Some of these problems could be solved with
better room layout which we will try next time, but I wondered if a
mixer and single amp might be better to control than the four amps we
were using (with the keyboard players plugged through my aux port). 
Another option is for me to use headphones and a mixer so I can
balance my drums better for me to listen to, but that would need me to
plug into each amp (or use a mic to feed into a small mixer).

Any suggestions gratefully received.

By the way, my Logitech Z2300 speakers worked well and the electronic
drum kit was well accepted to the rest of the band who thought it
sounded great.

Keith.
