Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Regarding the click volume. When in 'live' mode, the Click button 
controls the kick volume( see the little'kick' label under the 'click' 
label?) You need to switch to 'volmode=practice'. Press the 'utility ' 
button. Then Page Down twice. this takes you to VolMode. Use the Value 
- + to select 'practice". 

As for the ride performance, I don't think you will get sastifactory 
response with the PCY-60. There is a sensitivity control under the 
cymbal. This may help. But, I use a TP-60, a regular tom tom pad. It 
works great. perfect response with any type playing, from light 
intricate tapping, to full pounding! Then you just have to get in 
there and edit those sounds for the perfect sound.
Hope this helps, good luck.

the most out of them.
