Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks for your help..
As soon as I go out from my office (15 minutes), I'll go home and 
I'll rush to mount my dtxpress...but I noted all your suggestions, 
and I'll try them directly in disco, during check sound!
I never touched sensibility knob behind pads..perhaps they could be 
the solution I was waiting for...
I hope..
I'll let you know!!
Bye,
Gianluca
