Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Andy,

I think I've gotten the high-hat figured out now. I've adjusted the
screw on the pedal a bit for less play, and also changed the 
HH Sensitivity setting in the Voices menu (?) to get it more like
my real HH (check p.47). Now I can get a half-open sound with less
release of the pedal. Plays pretty nice now. Sharp open HH hits 
seem more responsive now also, though the pedal does sometimes 
miss them. I also changed the default closed HH sound...seemed 
much to tight for my ears. With my current setup, it does seem
like I can 'cheat' a bit now, as I don't have to release the 
pedal anywhere near as much as I'd do with a real HH. 

I guess that's why some folks stay away from e-drums, as you 
can get to depend on the technology too much. Sure beats tuning
the darn things! ;) Now my drums are always in tune :)
