Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Lee,

You can use anything that appeals to you as a hi hat (if you were in 
the US, I'd suggest a close look at the Visu-lite hh cymbals and 
controller, which mount on a traditional hh stand and have just 
become available in a Yamaha-compatible version). You'll just have 
to get a mount for your new cymbal. On Koby's dual-zone mesh-head 
snare, the usual method, as Koby recommends, is to connect the skin 
to input 2 and the rim to either 9 or 10, leaving the other mono 
input open for another pad. Theoretically, you could connect the 
skin to 9 and the rim to 10 (or use any other two inputs for that 
matter, if you didn't mind subverting their "stereo" capabilities), 
but splitting to 2 and 10 allows you to retain your snare if you 
should use one of the preset kits. Please post your impressions of 
your Koby triggers; we've never had any word about them.
