Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Keith,

 

The Roland is a lot more finicky about cross-sticking than the Yammies. 

If you have big hands/fingers it can be a problem getting the
cross-stick to work. You have to keep your fingers on the side/top of
the stick. If you touch the mesh head with your fingers, you end up
getting more of a rim shot sound and not the cross-stick sound.

 

Rob

Thanks, I think it is slowly becoming clearer. I noticed that the
Roland manual is very specific about how you make the rim shot and
cross stick sounds whereas the Yamaha is very tolerant - you don't
have to hit the pad to get the rim shot.
