Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Found the following in message #700. Thought it had relavence to a 
recent discussion:

<QUOTE>Briefly, on Hi-Hat pedals, the DTXpress pedal is fairly weak, 
but the DS-11 pedal is much better, the Roland hi-hat pedal is better 
still, but twice the price of the standard Yamaha. The difference is 
that the two Yamaha pedals are stepped for "closed", "semi-open" 
and "open" sounds, giving three distinct sound bands. The Roland is a 
smooth transition between semi-open and open which allows for more 
natural playing.
NOTE: The DTX brains are capable of registering the full range, it's 
just the pedals which don't provide it.<END QUOTE>
