Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi, Pete:

I run the three DTXPRESSII modules through a Mackie DFX12 mixer. My kit has
been divided into three horizontal rack sections, left section all pads go
through module 1, middle section pads go through module 2 and right section
all pads go through module 3. All the inputs are being used on all three
modules but by isolating the pads to a module in one area, crosstalk has all
but been eliminated. I have replaced all the original DTXPRESSII cymbal
clamps with Gilbralter multiclamps, which allows the insertion of a rubber
isolator between the cymbal arm and the clamp. I took a heavy rubber hose
made for a washing machine discharge hose and cut pieces to the exact size
and diameter to fit around the cymbal arm before inserting it into the
clamp. Because of the large number of pad clamps on each section of the
rack, I was getting a frequent crosstalk between TP-65's and cymbal pads.
Consider the case where I have two TP65 in close proximity and a cymbal
mount between them. Since the module will only allow one specific rejection
per pad, I could only eliminate one source of crosstalk and not two (TP65 TO
TP65, TP65 to PCY65S). This rubber isolation insert has eliminated my
problem.

Stephen, that's a good idea about separating left/right channel, because
with the three modules I would have 6 outputs. By the way I have completed
my conduit cable management system and it works like a charm.
