Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Jim,

If you check out Hart's website, specifically the module section, 
you'll notice that Peter Hart has some nice things to say about the 
Yamaha modules vis a vis the Alesises and the Rolands. He wouldn't 
do that if his pads were fundamentally incompatible with them. Most 
small edrum companies tend toward Roland as a benchmark, presumably 
because of market share. Pintech does the same thing, plugging the 
Roland modules and ignoring other options. But Pintech pads and 
cymbals are very happy in a Yamaha environment, and Pintech would 
have it no other way. But what I said in my reply to the Roland post 
applies here as well. There's no guarantee that you're going to like 
a particular company's pad through your electronics. Trial and error 
is unavoidable at this stage of the game. What pleases one drummer 
may not satisfy another. I've seen Hart kits mated with the Alesis 
DM5/Pro, ddrum modules, Rolands, etc. One person whose opinion may 
well be worth hearing on the subject is Ed Morin's at Drumbalaya. He 
seems to have tried every combination under the sun, and he puts 
together interesting mix/match kits.

Ed
