Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

This may sound a bit simplistic, but it's worth checking the point of impact
of your beater onto the pad. I f it isn't hitting the pad squarely you'll
get poor response and "missed hits" all the time.
The best kind of beater I've used with the tower is your old round felt
beater for maximum impact.
After that, I'd say it's worth getting the tower checked out.

Jim.

Subject: Kick tower sensitivity

I see alot of people posting this problem but didn't see anyone with
a real indication as to how to fix it.  My kick pad is to the point
that 1/3 to 1/2 of my hits are not coming through.  Occasionally I
hear a faint, low volume hit, but not what it should sound like.
This is becoming increasingly frustrating as I am finally to the
point that the rapid fire is coming to me quite easily and I can't
hear it.  Any thoughts?????

BYW - I'm playing through headphones, w/ and w/out cd accompaniment.

i'm not sure with the yamaha kick triggers,but with my pintechs i had
a slight problem when i was doing for an example steady 16th's or
32nd's with the kicks,that the triggers weren't tracking very well at
all,but i made a few minor adjustments on my module,and it really
seemed to clean it up quite nicely.. i didn't really no tice any
prob's with doin like triplets or quads, it was just when i was doin
a steady run with the kicks that it wasn't keeping up (tracking wise)
one thing idid do is put the input attenuation in the up position,and
it really made a difference so it may help you,but i'm not sure

anyone else got any ideas???
