Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I would still like to be a member of the DTXpress Electronic Drum Group. I've posted a few times when I can help. I have a DTXtreme, but find the information here very helpful. Most of the ideas apply to the DTXtreme as well. I receive messages as individual emails. I've downloaded files and checked out photos.

Thanks,

John
