Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Daniel

My DTX was a floor sample at the local music store for some time so it has
certainly been abused. The brain is good as new and I needed to fix a
problem with an early model kick pad. The new kick pads are quite good I
hear. the kick pad has screw-out spikes that I have had good luck with, even
with thin carpet, so the one you've tried may just need adjustment. Anything
you hit with a stick will break someday, but the Yamaha stuff seems durable.

I think you will like the drums.

Subject: [DTXpress] Comparison: electronic vs. acoustic kit (need some
dtx user feedback)


Hi,
I'm seriously thinking in buying a dtx-express drumkit soon.
I played and tested one in a shop recently, and it looks excellent.
I also tested a roland kit,and i think the dtx gives a better feel.
(in my opinion)
Can anyone give tips about the durability of the dtx, i'm a teacher
so i was thinking in using this for permament lessons and practice.

Is it a good and reliable drumkit in the long run? I mean it can
sound good the first year, but does anyone here have it more than 5
years, and how does it work? Do the pads still have the same
feel,etc..or any problems with the sound module!

Also i want to comment on the bassdrum pedal of all these electronic
kits, i think the basspedal is a bit fragile and moves around a lot
(unless i put a really thick carpet,or try to adjust it not to move).
Anyone having a solution for this, im one of those drummers that
lifts the whole leg and my pedal gets a big amount of pressure.
The acoustic kits can stand this because of the weight of the
bassdrum.
Ok,Nice hearing reply from you all.
