Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

My only suggestion at this point is: TP80s SUCKS. The rim function is 
dismal!!@!
You have to smack it really hard, in just the right spot to get a 
sound. Try hitting it harder. Try a different spot. Trade it for a new 
one. Then throw it away.....
Scott:Q
PS but no matter which STEREO pad you use, you still need to change 
the pad type. The pad type for PCY 60 and PCY Crash both support choke 
function!!!@
