Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey Walt!  Sorry I havent posted anything yet but when the week 
comes I get busy and can barely even play my drums!  I'll out what 
you suggested within the week though and let you know how it goes.  
I printed it out and read over it and there are some things I need 
to change so I'm pretty sure its gonna work, but I'll let you all 
know soon!  Thanks!!
