Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Actually, I never meant to say that different sticks produce different
sounds; they don't, just a different feel.  I don't know about you guys, but
I practice sometimes with the brain off just for the heck of it, and that's
when I really notice, and can focus on, the difference.

As for the weak hi-hat spring...ironically I find the spring on my HH80 (I
have a DS10 kit) too stiff, and have joked about developing a left calf like
Awnold.

BTW, after reading several posts advising me to stop complaining and embrace
the digital hi-hat, I did that this weekend and, okay, you guys are right.
It's not so bad. It's not like a real hi-hat. Not mine, anyway, but funky in
it's own right.

FWIW, seems Graham's "other" hobby also includes rubber discs, of the
screeching variety.
