Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks Ed,

I changed the mode to easy and then increased the lo and hi volume 
its better now.
As of logitech z680 speakers they are 500 rms watt 5 piece speaker 
system with great bass.
Are you aware of good place where one can start learning drums ?
I have been playing intuitively for a while but wish to learn the 
notation and make corrections in my playing style.
