Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Mine was intermittent ( drop outs, etc. ).
At first i thought the piezo was bad so I replaced it -- no go..
I resoldered the whole PCB - no go...
I replace the resistors on the PCB - that did it..

I remember many years ago an insertion machine in a factory
that was putting stress on the leads of some diodes, causing
intermittent failures in the field - this may be a similar issue.

either way - $1 worth of radio shack parts and life is good.
It's actually better now than ever...

BTW- i use a felt beater.
