Re: Sam's rack and trigger system for DTXpress

2002-03-29 by otacon28us

first off thank you for the kind words about my kit(much appreciated) 
i spent about the last 14 months doing various #'s of upgrades on it 
to get it to where it is at now(between me and walt we've done some 
power shopping on ebay lol ) anyways i'm glad to hear that my kit has 
inspired you to do some upgrading... as far as the answer to your 
questions : first off my trigger set-up is as follows,1 pintech ax-14 
picollo snare(14"x 3 1/2"), 5 (soon to be 6) pintech concertcast pads
(1 for picollo snare,3 for mounted toms,and 2 for floor toms.the 
pintech cc's have the following heads on them (the 2 floor have evans 
generra g1 coated,and the other 4 have mesh heads) also i have 4 
pintech dingbats(1 for a splash,2 for crashes,1 for china)and i have 
1 pintech nimrod 6 (for cowbell&other percussive voices)and finally 
for the pintech gear i have a vk-10 equipped with a yamaha double 
pedal for my kick trigger,now as the book report continues i have the 
following yamaha gear on my set-up:4 tp-60's( 1 additional splash,1 
for a crash,1 for ride bell,and one for hihat)also i have 1 tp-80 
(for ride cymbal) plus as you have probably noticed from the photos 
(in the album for this group)that i rin my whole set-up through 2 
dtxpress modules(1 for the drum triggers,and the other for cymbal,and 
percussion triggers)if you still want a little more detail into the 
description of my set-up or brands of harware that i use on my rack 
system for all of this feel free to email me at reva@... 
and i can give you some more specs on my kit..

once again thanks for your interest,
                  sam(otacon28)
