Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

jon,

its just a certain technique that the drummer is using, and can be 
played on a dtxpress but of course it wont sound quite the same. the 
sound the drummer is getting on this track is quite a rich acoustic 
one, where all the dynamics can be heard. the cymbal sounds (hi hat) 
on the dtxpress cannot match this quality, clarity or depth, but hey 
its only fair - they be using professional recording studios!

however the sounds on the dtxpress are plentiful and with a bit of 
experimentation i'm sure u could produce something quite similar. 
perhaps it would be a good idea to ask the group if anybody has been 
able to create a realistic reggae style hi hat, and adjust their 
settings to ur taste. i keep forgetting how many sounds there are on 
this module as i have pretty much stuck to 4 custom kits for the last 
year or so. happy huntin jon, let us know how it goes

pete
