Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

ok first off i laughed my ass off when i read your post man'' thanks 
for the laugh,anyways i don't know how much help it may be ,but what 
about maybe changing the arrangement of the pads,or even 
experimenting with the rack design a lil??? i don't know how much 
help that may be ,but if all else fails the light show idea might be 
a cool way to go.. just experiment though,and if you don't like the 
outcome you can always put everything back the way it was..

later,

(my new quote is "when in doubt add more triggers")
