My e-drum set

2003-10-06 by Stephanie Ellison

Hi Guys:

I just uploaded pictures into Stephanie Ellison under photo albums.

The Yamaha DTXpress II e-drums has a mesh snare pad plugged into the 9-10
jack, and I usually stick with my programmed kits.  The mesh pad has a
double-ply head on it to make it less springy, which really helps.  The 3-zone
snare that comes with this kit is the left-most rubber pad with the hi-hat
pad to the right of it.  The hi-hat pad sits an inch above the mesh pad.
This is kind of like a kit with a remote hat instead of a traditional hi-hat
stand.  That hi-hat pad sits WAAAYYY right of the actual hi-hat controller
pedal.

I intend to eventually replace the 3 right rubber pads, which are toms, with
mesh pads that I'll build.

Notice in the dtxpress-2-brain picture that the input cables are color- and
numerically-coded.  I did that by making plastic labels with letters and
numbers on them.  I not only put them on, I also "soldered" them where the
end seams overlap, so they don't come unglued.

Stephanie
