Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I use just the DTXpress for gigging. I have a great balance. When I 
let some one else play my kit, when I go out and listen, it is 
awesome. The only way you can tell it isn't an acoustic kit is... it 
sounds BETTER!
You have front-panel volume control for snare and kick, as well as 
groups of the other stuff. To get a good balance, you have to set up 
your kit with the main sound systen you will be using FACING you. This 
is the only way you can tell what is going on. If you have the snare 
and kick all the way up, you will have to turn down the other voices, 
and then turn the whole drum mix volume up.
And when you play live, good drum monitors are a MUST. You have to 
hear what you are playing, (and so does the rest of the band. You may 
not hear that the snare and kick are actually loud enough if you can't 
hear them.
I have found a small PA works best for on-stage monitoring. Two 
speakers as side fill lets everyone, including you, hear what's 
happening. Also, you need at least 15" speakers!!!!
There is No way to separate the click from the mix.
