Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Sorry to hear about the gig. There are a few things to eliminate 
that next time though. If the plave was "big" and the kit was 
drowned out then the other instruments should have turned down. Do 
you have a monitor behind you? Was everyone going through the PA?

Remember that a live gig is much like a recording. There has to be 
proper balance. By reading your post it sounds like everything else 
was over powering you. if the pa was maxed...then others should have 
turned down, I'd like to know more about the gig, room, set up and 
all. In all seriousness, there is no reason for you to be over 
powered and drwoned out.
Later,
Billy
