Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Finally!!! Santa was good to me & I was finally able to purchase the 
DTXpress this week! All I can say is that it keeps impressing me...far 
better than i thought it would be! Now all i have to do is catch up on all 
the tricks that have been posted here. One question from a newbie on home 
recording with this kit....I'm about to get Cakewalk & I would like to know 
what I need to hook the kit up to the computer. Any info is appreciated & 
thanks to all that have answered my questions before and also to everyone 
who has posted their honest opinions on this kit...this list was a major 
contributor in my decision to purchase this kit. thanks again & HAPPY NEW 
YEAR!!!

Well as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I got my kit but wasn't allowed 
to set it all up till Xmas day - I have now got going with it and it is 
excellent.
Let me just say that I am not a very good drummer at all,  have only been
playing for about a year on a Premier Cabria kit in my loft which I 
converted
to house my gear (I have some guitars and Recording equipment as well).

My point was going to be that I find the DTXpress easier to play than the 
real
kit and I think the reason is that with my real kit I am always conscious of
how hard I am hitting them (neighbours !) whereas with the DTXpress and
headphones, I can give it some real stick.

I also find the bass pedal easier to control than on my real kit, probably 
my
poor technique on the real kit - having said that I haven't played my real 
kit
since I got the DTXpress, so maybe I have improved - we'll see..

I also found the headphone volume to be low, so I have just connected the
brain to an old Hi-Fi amp that I had and I connect the headphones to that.
You need to be careful if you do that - if the volume is too high it can
blow your ears off !!

I havent yet done much voice editing, but I intend to do that soon.

Regards

Kelvin
