Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Just a bit of input for you about gigging.  I found it
extremely helpful to replace some of those flimsy
plastic clamps with metal ones.  That made the entire
rack much more stable and easier to setup and
teardown.  I replaced the kick tower with a pintech
"verti-kik" (I hope I spelled it right) and since the
headphone volume is a bit low I took a monitor speaker
with me.  I gigged for 6 months straight about twice a
week with my dtxpress after doing these things and it
made life much easier.  I also carried a spare power
adapter and a few stereo 1/4" cables jyst in case but
never needed them.  I hope this helps.   -Joe
