Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hi Chris,
If you want the gory details on headphone volume, go through the archives of
the list. It's been a popular subject. As such, I'll be brief.
1) Make sure the overall kit volume is up to 127 (manual page 47).
2) Get some quality, enclosed headphones. I bought some Sennheiser HD200's
for under $100 and it changed everything. Plenty loud. You'll use 'em on
your home and portable stereos as well.

Yamaha has been well informed of the problem so future generations probably
won't have to deal with it.

Later,
Rick
