Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hello there

For what it's worth, I stick my DTXpress II through the PA that is 
set up in the rehearsal studio we use. It works a treat and sounds 
amazing. The only thing I would say about it though is you definatly 
need to have a monitor otherwise you simply can't hear yourself over 
the rest of the band............A situation I have never encountered 
before being a drummer until I got my electric kit! Come to think of 
it I used to quite like being the loudest person in the room and 
making everyone else adjust thier settings to suit me :)
