Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Well, that just gave me an idea....

Next time I get the same problem, I'll take off the
top plate and move the wedge directly, if then I
become totally certain of the cause or the problem, I
think I can attach a small strap or chord to the top
of the wedge and below the top plate, just that it's
barely tense when the pedal is not being pressed, of
course I'll have to find a way so I don't physically
modify the pedal, unless I find it a permanent problem
solver, but all this is just going through my head in
flashy images now I want to leave work and go try it,
but whenever I try that, I'll take some pictures and
post them :P.

I'll keep you informed, It might even take a couple of
days for the problem to occur again, and I might like
to wait until it becomes more constant so I can tell
for sure it solved my problem :P.

Pedro.
