Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Max, 

I'm no expert or verteran, but when I changed the trigger out in my 
Kick pad I had to leave out part of a thick pad insert/wedge (if 
this is what you call a sponge?) peice as it would not fit back in 
the rubber cover with the new insert replacement.
So, what I'm saying is that the replacement I got was a 'complete' 
insert that totally filled up tight the inner part of the rubber 
cover. In fact so tight I struggled for quite a while to fit it back 
together & almost stripped the screws! - I got smart & used a clamp 
to hold it in place so I could screw it back together with less 
struggling.

Not so hard to change out otherwise! I thought one of the earlier 
above replies on this original thread gave a model number?
Anyway, I called Musicians Friend where I bought my DTXpress from & 
they gave me a number to call where they deal in DTXpress 
replacement parts!

Hope this helps.

Steve

the rubber cover has compacted on the right side (i'm using dbl 
pedals) and now produces a very weak signal, whereas the left side 
of the KP is still producing a healthy signal. Do i need a new piezo 
and sponge? If anybody has changed their's before I'd be interested 
to know if it's an easy operation and what the model numbers are of 
the parts needed.
