Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

The 3-zone hi-hat is definitely news not previouly reported.The websites all
call it out as two zone.

The changed part number for the tom pads make sense, since one Japanese web
site described the pads as being more responsive (different rubber).

I have asked Yamaha USA for an advance copy of the DtxpressIII manual, we
have to see if they actually are able to send us one, since it has not been
officially released here in the States.

Matt, if we can't get a copy of one here in the States, can you get your
hands on one or see if any of the Japanese stores know where a PDF version
can be gotten from?


Thanks,

OGD
