Hi LPC,

As someone who owns both ddrum and yamaha modules, I can tell you 
categorically that Clavia's sysex is not compatible with Yamaha's, or 
anyone else's, through a MIDI connection. You could conceivably 
sample a percussion sound generated by the DTXpress module's audio 
output and dump it into the ddrum module, because ddrum permits 
imported samples, but not vice versa. Even if Ulrich had his kit 
sampled somewhere, you still couldn't transfer it into the DTXpress 
module. Your best chance of sounding like him would be to analyze 
each of his components on your favorite CD and then to see how 
closely you could approximate it with the voices and effects on your 
module.
