Re: [DTXpress] Re: What Impedance Is Considered "LOW"

2003-02-10 by jadeiebooshkie

To me, that makes sense about the HH stand.  This
question came about via a conversation I had with a
drummer friend of mine that works in our local music
shop.  If it's ELECTRONIC, a plain ol' HH stand should
do....but we were wondering if the various settings on
the stand would matter, just out of curiousity.  I've
got the KAT manuel, I will start reading it.  It came
with the book AND  double sided 15 page instruction
sheet pluspresets lists, factory presets and yada,
yada, yada!!!  EEE...GADS!!!!!  WHAT did I get myself
into?
Remember all them note numbers I couldn't use because
they were in use already...I think I'm gonna live to
regret it!!Ha!!
