Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Creighton,

Have you been using a TP pad for your ride? For some people 
(depending on their technique and the force of their hits), even 
using them as drums can wreak havoc with their joints and muscles. 
With all due respect to your ingenuity, if you start noticing any 
numbness or sensitivity in your foot from beating on that hard Remo 
pracice kick, you'll have to soften that blow, too. Or have you 
place a mouse pad over it?

Ed
